The notice of bid opening will contain a description of the proposed work, instructions and information to the potential bidder regarding bid forms, plans, specifications, combination bids and the reservation of the right of the Commission to reject any and all bids. 102.2 Contractor Questionnaire. Each prospective bidder, including a joint venture, shall file a contractor questionnaire on the form furnished by the Commission, which is available on MoDOT’s website. The contractor questionnaire shall be furnished to the Commission as a separate document apart from any other document submitted. A bid will not be opened and read unless a fully responsive contractor questionnaire is on file with the Commission at least seven days prior to the time set for the opening of the bids. A new contractor questionnaire shall be filed annually, except the Commission reserves the right to request a contractor questionnaire from any contractor as of any date if the Commission has shown reason to believe that the contractor’s experience data may have changed from that shown on the questionnaire on file. This document shall include a record of the bidder’s experience data. The Commission will use this information as an aid to determine in each instance the lowest responsible bidder and nothing contained herein shall be construed as depriving the Commission of the Commission’s discretion in the matter of determining the lowest responsible bidder. 102.2.1 At any time prior to award, as a condition of award and for a period of three years after the date of final acceptance, the Commission may request true copies of the bidder’s financial data, including the bidder’s balance sheet, profit and loss statement and similar financial data, as of the close of the bidder’s most recent fiscal year prior to submission of the bid, and for each fiscal year between the contract award and final acceptance of the contract work. Unless specified otherwise by the Commission, financial data shall be prepared by an accountant and audited financial data shall be provided if it is available to the bidder for the fiscal period requested. A bidder who has not closed the first fiscal year prior to the date of the request shall supply the last periodic balance sheet, profit and loss statement and similar data. 102.2.2 The contractor questionnaire contains an affidavit of labor standards compliance. Each prospective bidder shall execute the affidavit, stating that such bidder will fully comply with all written requests by the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards, to provide information for the purpose of establishing a prevailing wage. 102.2.3 The prospective bidder, if a corporation, shall submit with the contractor questionnaire, a copy of the bidder’s current annual registration report or initial registration report if a new corporation, on file with the Corporation Division of the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office.

No contract will be executed by the Commission until such a certificate is furnished by the bidder. 102.2.5 All prospective bidders who are corporations organized in states other than Missouri or countries other than the USA shall furnish, at the prospective bidder’s cost, a certified copy of a current certificate of authority to do business in Missouri, with said certificate to remain on file with the Commission. Such a certified copy may be secured from the corporation supervisor in the Office of the Secretary of State, Jefferson City, Missouri. The prospective bidder agrees to cause the prospective bidder’s authority to do business as a foreign corporation to be continued and extended throughout the life of any contract awarded and until all claims thereon and thereunder shall have been finally settled. All prospective bidders shall have a valid certificate of authority to transact business in Missouri at the time of bid opening as a condition of responsiveness. 102.3 Bidding. All bids shall be submitted electronically using the BidExpress® website. Any bid not submitted electronically will be considered irregular in accordance with Sec 102.8 102.3.1 MoDOT uses the BidExpress® website (www.bidx.com) as the official depository for electronic bid submittals. MoDOT will ensure that this electronic bid depository is available for a two-hour period prior to the 26deadline for submission of bids. In the event of disruption of national communications or loss of services by www.bidx.com during this two-hour period, MoDOT will delay the deadline for bid submissions to ensure the ability of potential bidders to submit bids. Notifications and instructions of delay will be communicated to potential bidders. 102.3.2 The Commission will make the bidding documents available to the prospective bidder. The documents will state the location, description and requirements of the contemplated construction and will show the estimate of the various quantities and types of work to be performed or material to be furnished, and will have a schedule of items for which unit bid prices are invited. The bidding documents will state the time in which the work shall be completed, the amount of the bid guaranty and the date, time and place of the opening of bids. 102.3.3 Bidders that submit bids via the internet shall have on file with the Commission an “Electronic Signature Agreement”, a copy of which can be found on MoDOT’s website. This agreement shall be initiated by the prospective bidder and submitted to the Commission. A bid will not be opened and read unless a fully executed agreement is on file with the Commission at least seven days prior to the time set for the opening of the bids. 102.3.4 The Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, Missouri Standard Plans for Highway Construction, including all revisions of these documents, and other items referenced in the bidding documents, whether attached or not, will be considered a part of the bid. A prospective bidder will be expected to obtain the current edition of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and the Missouri Standard Plans for Highway Construction, including all revisions of these documents, which can be found on MoDOT’s website. 102.3.5 Bidders will be responsible for any additional fees associated with submitting bids using AASHTOWare Project Bids® Electronic Bidding System software and the BidExpress® website. 102.3.6 It will be conclusively presumed that all of the bidding documents are in the bidder’s possession and that these documents have been reviewed and used by the bidder in the preparation of any bid submitted. The effective dates of the General Provisions & Supplemental Specifications and the Supplemental Plans for Highway Construction will be specified in the contract documents. A copy of the latest version of these documents is available on MoDOT’s web site. 102.4 Interpretation of Quantities in Bid Schedule. The quantities appearing in the bid schedule are estimated only and are prepared for the comparison of bids. Payment to the contractor will be made only for the actual quantities of work performed and accepted in accordance with the contract, except where final measurements are not made, as hereinafter provided. The quantities of work to be done and material to be furnished may each be increased, decreased or omitted as hereinafter provided. 102.5 Examination of Plans, Specifications, Special Provisions and Site of Work. The engineer will provide plans and specifications to the contractor providing direction on the work required. Conditions indicated on the plans and in the bidding documents represent information available from surveys and studies. The bidder is expected to carefully examine the proposed work site and bidding documents before submitting a bid. Submission of a bid will be considered proof that the bidder has made an examination and is satisfied with the conditions to be encountered in performing the work. 102.5.1 Other documentary information, consisting of boring logs and other factual subsurface information that does not constitute part of the contract or contract documents, will be provided with project plans that contain cross sections, or they will be available from the engineer upon the bidder’s written request. This information, used for project design and quantity estimation purposes, was not obtained to determine actual subsurface conditions, actual quantities of subsurface material or appropriate construction methods, nor shall this information be considered a representation of actual conditions to be encountered during construction. Furnishing this information does not relieve a bidder from the responsibility of making an investigation of conditions to be encountered, including but not limited to site visits, and basing the bid on information obtained from these investigations and the professional interpretation and judgment of the bidder. The bidder shall assume the risk of error if the information is used for any purposes for which the information was not intended. The Commission makes no representation as to the accuracy of the logs or other subsurface information, since the accuracy of this information is limited by the equipment used, the personal judgment of the persons making the investigation, and by the limited number of samples taken. Records indicate conditions encountered only at the times and the specific locations shown. Ground water observations are not routinely recorded in all boring 27logs. The absence of such data does not mean ground water will not be encountered. An indication of ground water constitutes no representation or warranty as to where ground water will be found, nor its volume or artesian character, during the project work. Any assumptions a bidder may make from this data is at the bidder’s risk; none are intended by the Commission. 102.5.2 Certain other documents in the Commission’s possession relating to subsurface investigations are not included in the records made available to bidders under Sec 102.5.1. These documents include correspondence and reports containing interpretations, opinions and recommendations that may or may not be factual, accurate or consistent with design decisions. Any such information that does not constitute part of the contract or contract documents is available, at a nominal cost, from the engineer upon specific, written request by the prospective bidder. The bidder is cautioned that any and all such interpretations, conclusions and recommendations are not represented or warranted to be accurate or reliable and the Commission cannot be bound by them, whether or not the Commission may appear to have “relied” on them. These subjective findings, opinions or assumptions have not been confirmed or shown to be reliable and the bidder assumes the sole risk of liability or loss if the bidder does rely on these documentary interpretations and conclusions to its detriment, delay or loss. 102.5.3 The bidder assumes all risks that may be encountered in basing the order of work, equipment or personnel determinations, time of performance, cost of performance, working days needed, item bid prices or any other element of the work, on documents that the bidder obtains from the Commission, which are not expressly warranted. 102.5.4 Unless stated specifically and expressly in the bidding documents, no project involving excavation, which may include either borrow or the disposal of excess material, is represented or warranted to be a “balanced” job or project, regardless of whether the bidding documents use terms such as “balance points” or other terms that could be interpreted to suggest balance. Whether or not such projects involving excavation contain bid items for borrow or disposal of excess material, the bidder should assume that either is possible and investigate those possibilities accordingly in determining a bid. 102.5.5 Utilities are often in the process of relocation at the time a project is bid. Regardless of what utilities are shown in the bidding documents and utility locations listed, the bidder shall contact each area utility to determine the presence and location of utility lines. The bidder shall determine and shall assume the risk as to whether utilities that are to be relocated by the utility companies have in fact been relocated and if not, when the utility company anticipates the relocation shall be completed. The bidder shall independently determine the reliability of the information received from the utility companies and shall make the determination as to the sequence and timing of utility relocations in determining a bid. 102.5.6 The bidder and contractor has an affirmative duty to inquire and obtain from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), from the USACE and any other cognizant government agency, historic weather and water stage information which the bidder may consider important as guides for bidding and scheduling the work. Some of that information may be contained among the bidding documents solely as a convenience and is not warranted nor represented to any degree to be complete and accurate historic data. No warranty or representation whatsoever is made or intended by the Commission of future weather conditions during the project. Water stages and depths of water at any place or at any time within the area of the project are acknowledged to be beyond control of the Commission and dependent upon future weather conditions and actions by other governmental bodies, such as the government of the USA or third parties. The Commission makes no representation that other governmental bodies or third parties will not take action during the period of the contract or any extended time of contract performance, which will affect water stages or depths. Bidders are put on notice that the bidder’s operations may be affected by water flows, siltation and other causes over which it is acknowledged the Commission has no control 102.6 Sales and Use Taxes. The Commission will issue a sales tax exemption certificate as described in Section 144.062 RSMo to contractors for the Commission. The tax exemption will apply to the prime contractor, any subcontractors, or suppliers for materials and supplies incorporated or consumed during the construction of the Commission project. 102.7 Preparation of Bidding Documents 102.7.1 Bids submitted shall be prepared using the latest version of AASHTOWare Project Bids® and be submitted using the BidExpress® website. Each bidder shall specify in the bid, in figures, a unit price for each of the separate items listed. The bidder shall not enter zero in any “Unit Price” field unless zero is the intended 28bid for that item. A unit price left blank will be considered a zero by the Commission. In case of alternate items, unit prices shall be entered for only one alternate, unless otherwise specified in the bidding documents. 102.7.2 A bidder may submit a separate bid on any or all projects, except that bids shall be submitted for all projects in a required combination. Bidders not having the ability to simultaneously execute all contracts for bids submitted during a bid opening may state, in one of the bids, the maximum total value of contract awards the bidder is willing to accept for that bid opening. Only one statement of “Maximum Monetary Value of Awards Accepted this Bid Opening” shall be completed per bid opening. In the event a bidder submits multiple statements of maximum award, the lowest value stated will be used. The Commission reserves the right to select and award the combination of bids, not exceeding this maximum, that will be to the best interest of the State, provided these bids are in conformance with the requests for bids. Any corrected bid that exceeds the lowest specified maximum award may be declared non-responsive. 102.7.3 Bids submitted shall have the digital ID of an individual authorized to sign bids for their respective company. The individual must be identified as an officer for the company on the contractor questionnaire. 102.7.4 The bid by a partnership or joint venture, including individuals doing business under fictitious names or corporations, shall only submit one bid for the partnership or joint venture. 102.7.5 The bid by a corporation, whether acting alone or as a joint venturer, shall show the address and name of the corporation exactly as shown on the contractor questionnaire, and shall include the signature or digital ID and title of a person authorized by its board of directors to bind the corporation. 102.7.6 Each bidder shall submit with each bid a sworn statement, executed by or on behalf of the bidder to whom a contract may be awarded, certifying that the bidder has not, either directly or indirectly, entered into any agreement, participated in any collusion or otherwise taken any action in restraint of free competitive bidding in connection with the bid or any contract that may result from its acceptance. 102.7.7 A bid will not be accepted or considered if the bid is the product of collusion among bidders, if the bidder is disqualified or determined not responsible or if the bid is irregular in accordance with Sec 102.8. 102.7.8 Subcontractor disclosure. For contracts of more than $2,000,000 each bidder shall submit with each bid a disclosure of the subcontracts that have a subcontract value that is equal to or greater than twenty percent of the total project bid or subcontracts that are greater than or equal to $2,000,000. The disclosure of subcontracts must include the name of each subcontractor, the category of work that each subcontractor will perform (e.g. asphalt, concrete, earthwork, bridges…) and the dollar value of each subcontract. The information shall be disclosed on the form provided in the bidding documents. If that information is not available at the time of bid the bidder shall submit the “Subcontractor Disclosure Form” pages with MoDOT on or before 4:00 p.m. of the third business day after the bid opening date, directly to the Design Division, Missouri Department of Transportation, 105 W. Capitol Avenue, P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0270. Telefax transmittal to MoDOT will be permitted at fax no. 573-522-2281. Failure to disclose this information may result in a bid being declared non-responsive. The complete signed original documents do not need to be mailed to MoDOT, but the bidder shall have it available if requested by the Design Division or the engineer. 102.8 Irregular Bids. Bids that are not completed in accordance with the bidding documents, that show any omissions, false statements or certifications, alterations of form, additions not called for, conditional or alternate bids unless called for, irregularities of any kind, or that are declared non responsive to the request for bids may be rejected. Bids combining or otherwise tying sections or projects not listed in the bidding documents as being in combination will be deemed irregular bids and will be rejected. Any comment in the bid limiting or qualifying the reserved right of the Commission to make awards that will be to the best interest of the State will constitute an irregular bid. 102.8.1 A bid will be considered irregular and may be rejected if any of the unit bid prices are mathematically or materially unbalanced to the detriment of the Commission. 102.9 Bid Guaranty. No bid will be considered unless accompanied by a certified check or cashier’s check on any bank or trust company insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, payable to the Director of Revenue, Credit State Road Fund, for no less than five percent of the amount of the bid, or by a bid bond secured by an approved surety or sureties in accordance with Secs 103.4.2 and 103.4.3, for no less than five percent of the amount of the bid. Bidders may submit a bid bond for each project bid or an annual bid bond that 29would cover all projects bid for a twelve-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of each state fiscal year. Annual bid bond forms shall be submitted by June 15 of each year.

Bid bond forms will be furnished to the prospective bidder upon request. Electronically produced copies of the bid bond form may be utilized, however, the exact wording used on the Commission furnished form shall be included in full and without deviation. Bid bond forms shall be complete and correct at the time of submittal or the bid may be considered non-responsive. Only the version of the bid bond form provided with the request for bid shall be submitted, unless the Request for Bid or Notice of Bid Opening authorizes the use of alternate bid bond forms. The bid bond power of attorney shall be an original document, not a facsimile. Bids accompanied by bid guaranties that are not in accordance with this section or accompanied by bid bonds that are not issued by an approved surety will be rejected. 102.9.1 Bidders may choose to submit a paper or electronic bid guaranty in accordance with Sec 102.9. 102.9.1.1 The electronic bid bond shall be part of the digitally signed bid and be verified via digital encryption by the bonding agent. 102.9.1.2 If utilizing an annual bid bond as a bid guaranty, it is the responsibility of the bidder to verify that each bid submittal does not exceed the annual bid bond limit. If a bid security maximum amount is specified for the annual bid bond and the bidder chooses to submit bids exceeding the maximum, it is the responsibility of the bidder to contact the surety for an increased annual bid bond or separate bid bond. The Bidder may choose to submit a project-specific bid bond in addition to an existing annual bid bond already on file with MoDOT.

102.10 Bids shall be submitted via the internet using the latest version of AASHTOWare Project Bids®, and be

designated as such in the bidding documents.

102.12.1 On required combinations, the bidder shall complete the bid for each project included in the

combination.

102.12.2 On permitted combinations, the bidder will be allowed to combine all projects in the combination or

102.12.2 1 To combine all projects in a permitted combination, the bidder shall enter a complete bid for each

project and mark the “All or None” box in the Bid. By marking “All or None” and combining all the projects, the bidder will be awarded all the projects in the combination or none of the projects.

separately. The bidder shall complete the bid for each project the bidder desires to bid and leave the project's bid items blank for all projects not bid.

102.12.3 Two or more projects awarded in combination will be considered to be covered by a single contract. If

during construction an item for which a unit price has not been bid is encountered in one project of a combination, the unit price bid for the same item in another project of the combination will apply, unless there is conclusive proof that conditions are changed significantly to effect a definite increase or decrease in the cost of the operation. 30102.13 Bids will be opened and the bid totals made public.

102.14 Disqualification of Bidders. Any one or more of the following reasons may be considered as being

manufactured, assembled or produced in the USA. If there are any exceptions, the bidder shall submit a list of the exceptions on company letterhead, signed by the bidder and attached to the inside of the bid submitted. The list shall include the pay item number and the location where the item is manufactured. The bidder shall identify any of the exceptions in the list that are specified goods or products that are treated as manufactured, assembled or produced in the USA under an existing treaty, law, agreement or regulation of the USA regarding export/import restrictions and international trade.

102.18.5 3 The bidder shall notify the contact listed in the Request for Bid of any specified goods or products

that cannot be manufactured, assembled or produced in the USA in sufficient quantities or in time to meet the contract specifications.

102.18.5 4 The bidder shall certify that the bid complies with all provisions of Section 34.350 et seq RSMo.

102.19 Preference for Missouri Products. By virtue of statutory authority, a preference will be given, on

projects other than federal aid projects, to material, products, supplies, provisions and all other articles produced, manufactured, made or grown within the State of Missouri, where same are of a suitable character and can be obtained at reasonable market prices in the state and are of a quality suited to the purpose intended and can be secured without additional cost over foreign products or products of other states. 33SECTION 103 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT 103.1 Consideration of Bids. After bids are opened and the bid totals read, the bids will be compared on the basis of the summation of the products of the approximate quantities shown in the bid schedule multiplied by the unit bid prices. The results of such comparisons will be immediately available to the public. 103.2 Award of Contract. 103.2.1 The contract will be awarded by the Commission to the lowest responsible bidder as soon as practical after the opening of the bids. The responsibility of the contractor will be determined by the Commission based on, but not limited to, previous work, financial standing and record for the payment of the contractor’s obligations. No contract will be executed by the Commission unless the contractor has on file with the Commission a valid contractor questionnaire in accordance with Sec 102.2. The successful bidder will be notified by letter mailed to the address shown on the bid that the bid has been accepted and the contract has been awarded. 103.2.2 The Commission may make a contingent award to the second lowest responsible bidder. If the low bidder fails to execute the contract in accordance with this section, the contract will be offered to the second lowest responsible bidder in accordance with the contingent award made by the Commission within 25 days after the original award date. The second low bidder shall then be bound by the same requirements as specified for the lowest responsible bidder. The Notice to Proceed may be extended by the number of days between the original Commission award and the day the contract has been mailed to the second lowest responsible bidder. If the contract time for completion of the work is set solely by completion date, then the completion date may be extended by the number of days between the original Commission award and the day the contract was mailed to the second lowest responsible bidder. The new contract will be adjusted to reflect these changes, if appropriate. 103.2.2.1 If the second low bidder is not able to perform the work at the unit prices bid by the second low bidder due solely to the fact that the low bidder is unable to perform as a subcontractor in accordance with Sec 103.6, and the second low bidder based its bid upon an offer by the low bidder to perform subcontract work for the second low bidder, the second low bidder will not be required to forfeit its bid bond, providing the second low bidder submits to the Commission proper documentation that its bid was based on the low bidder’s quote. Proper documentation shall include, but is not limited to, a letter to the Commission describing the work that was to be performed by the low bidder as a subcontractor, all quotes the contractor received and all documentation for the work in question. 103.2.2.2 When the second low bidder is required to execute the contract and the low bidder was a DBE firm that was identified on the second low bidder’s Identification of Participating DBE’s, the second low bidder shall attempt to replace the low bidder with another DBE firm. If the second low bidder is unsuccessful in attaining another DBE firm for that work, the second low bidder shall certify that a good faith effort was made in accordance with 49 CFR 26.53. The DBE goal will be adjusted accordingly. 103.2.3 When the tabulated lowest bids are equal in all respects, including price, the successful bidder will be determined by a formal drawing of lot limited to the tied bidders. Tied bidders will be notified of the location and time of the drawing and have the opportunity to attend, but attendance will not be required. 103.2.4 Alternate Bids. In making the award, if alternate bids have been requested, that alternate that will be in the best interest of the Commission will be used. 103.2.5 Federal Concurrence. If the USA or any agency thereof is paying all or a portion of the cost of construction of the project, the award made by the Commission will be tentative until proper federal concurrence therein has been received. 103.3 Return of Bid Guaranty. The bid guaranty, whether check or bid bond, of the low bidder will be retained until the contract has been executed by the successful bidder, all insurance requirements have been met and a satisfactory contract bond furnished. The check of the low bidder will then be returned. The bid guaranty of the second low bidder will be returned when the Commission has determined that award will not be made to that firm. If errors or irregularities appear in the bid of either of the two lowest bidders that creates doubt as to the status of such a bid, the bid guaranties of other bidders may be retained. When the two lowest bidders have been definitely established, the checks of the other bidders will be returned. Any bid bond furnished as a bid guaranty 34will be returned only upon request of the bidder furnishing the bid bond. If an award is not made, all checks will be returned to the bidders. 103.4 Contract Bond Required. 103.4.1 The successful bidder shall, at the time of the execution of the contract, furnish a contract bond in a sum equal to the contract price. The bond shall be to the State of Missouri, in a form and with surety or sureties acceptable to the Commission, to ensure the proper and prompt completion of the work in accordance with the provisions of the contract, the contractor’s compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the contract, all obligations on the contractor’s part to be performed and payment of all obligations to the Commission by the contractor, including any indebtedness, liquidated or unliquidated, for any reason relating to or arising from the contract, and to ensure payment for all labor performed and material consumed or used in the work. The bond, if executed by a surety that is a corporation organized in a state other than Missouri, shall be signed by an agent or broker licensed by the Missouri Department of Insurance. All bids shall be submitted on the basis of furnishing a contract bond executed by an approved surety or sureties, as herein set out. The surety’s liability under the contract bond and contract shall not be limited to the penal sum as set forth in the contract bond. The surety shall be liable and responsible to the Commission for the contractor’s entire performance and of all obligations arising under or from the contract, which shall include, but is not limited to any change orders issued under the contract that increase the cost of the contract. 103.4.2 Certificate of Authority. Any surety company that proposes to execute a bond as required by the contract shall have on file with or furnish to the Commission a certified copy of the surety’s certificate of authority to transact business in the State of Missouri. 103.4.3 Surety Acceptability. A surety will be acceptable to the Commission if the surety is listed in the current United States Department of the Treasury, Fiscal Service, Department Circular 570, Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsuring Companies. Individual contract bonds may not be in excess of the underwriting limitation listed in the circular. 103.5 Execution of Contract. The individual, partnership, corporation or joint venturer awarded the contract shall return the prescribed copies of the contract and bond, properly executed, to the office of the Commission within 15 days after the unexecuted contract has been mailed to the bidder. No bid shall be considered binding upon the Commission until the contract has been awarded by the Commission, and until the successful bidder has executed and returned the contract and a satisfactory bond. No contract will be effective until the contract has been executed by all parties. 103.6 Failure to Execute Contract. Failure to execute the contract or to file an acceptable contract bond within 15 days after the unexecuted contract has been mailed to the bidder will be just cause for the cancellation of the award and the forfeiture of the bid guaranty. A bidder failing to file an acceptable bid or contract bond from an approved surety or failing to execute the contract within the time provided resulting in a cancellation of the award to that bidder, disqualifies that bidder, and any other firm having common ownership or control with that bidder, from performing any work on the Commission project or projects that are the subject of that bid, as a prime contractor, a subcontractor or a supplier. 35SECTION 104 SCOPE OF WORK 104.1 Intent of Contract. The contractor shall complete the work described and furnish all resources required to complete the work under the contract. 104.2 Differing Site Conditions. If differing site conditions are encountered during the progress of the work, the discovering party shall promptly notify the other party in accordance with Sec 104.4. No further disturbance of the site or performance of the affected work shall be done after the alleged differing site conditions are noted, unless otherwise directed in writing by the engineer. 104.2.1 Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted. 104.2.2 No contract adjustment that results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice as specified in Sec 104.4. 104.2.3 No contract adjustment will be allowed under this section for any effects caused on unchanged work. 104.2.4 Payment will be determined in accordance with Sec 109.4 and adjustments in contract time will be determined in accordance with Sec 108.14. 104.3 Changes in the Work. When considered necessary to satisfactorily complete the project, the engineer reserves the right to provide written notice to the contractor, at any time during the contract, to change quantities or make other alterations for which there are no provisions included in the contract. Such changes in quantities and alterations in the work will not invalidate the contract, require consent of the surety, nor release the contract surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. Alterations of plans or of the nature of the work will not involve work beyond the termini of the proposed construction, except as may be necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. 104.3.1 If the alterations or changes in quantities do not cause a significant change in the work to be performed under the contract, payment for the altered work will be determined in accordance with Sec 109.3 for all work for which a contract unit price exists, and Sec 109.4 for all other work. The basis for the adjustment for work for which no unit price exists shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. If the directed changes require additional time to complete the contract, adjustments in the contract time will be determined in accordance with Sec 108.7. 104.3.2 If the alterations or changes in quantities cause significant change in the work under the contract as defined in Sec 101, an adjustment will be made to the contract. This adjustment will occur whether such alterations or changes are in themselves a significant change in the work or by affecting other work, causing such other work to become significantly different. Payment will be determined in accordance with Sec 109.3 or Sec 109.4. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. If the directed changes require additional time to complete the contract, adjustments in the contract time will be determined in accordance with Secs 108.7 or 108.14, as appropriate. 104.4 Notification of Differing Site Conditions and Changes in the Work. The contractor shall promptly notify the engineer of alleged changes to the contract due to differing site conditions, altered work beyond the scope of the contract, or actions taken by MoDOT that changed the contract terms and conditions. Within five business days of the date the alleged change or action was noted, the contractor shall provide the following information to the engineer in writing:

a.The date of occurrence and the nature of circumstances of the occurrence.
b.The name, title and activity of MoDOT personnel having knowledge of the matter. 36(c) The identity of any documents and the substance of any oral communications involved.
d.The basis for a claim of accelerated schedule performance.
e.The basis for a claim that the work is not required by the contract.
f.The particular elements of contract performance for which additional compensation, compensable or excusable delay may be sought under this section including:
1.Pay items that have been or will be affected.
2.Labor or material, or both, that will be added, deleted or discarded and what equipment will be idled, extended or required on the project.
3.Delay and disruption in the manner and sequence of performance that has been or will be caused.
4.Estimated adjustments to contract prices, delivery schedules, staging and contract time.
5.Estimate of the time within which MoDOT must respond to the notice to minimize cost, delay or disruption of performance. 104.4.1 For good cause the engineer may extend the time for the contractor to provide any part of the above information. 104.4.2 The failure of the contractor to provide notice and other information in accordance with the procedures of Sec 104.4 will constitute a waiver of any and all claims that may arise as a result of the allegations. 104.5 Response to Notification of Differing Site Conditions and Changes in the Work. Following submission of the Sec 104.4 notification to the engineer, the contractor shall continue diligent prosecution of the work not affected by the notification, unless directed otherwise in writing by the engineer. Within ten business days after receipt of notification, the engineer will respond in writing to the contractor to:
a.Confirm or deny that a change occurred and specify future action to be performed by the contractor and the engineer, or
b.Advise the contractor that specific additional information is needed and the date the information is to be received by the engineer for further review. For good cause, the engineer may extend the time for the contractor to provide any of the additional information. The engineer will respond within ten days of receipt of additional information from the contractor. Any adjustments made to the contract will not include increased cost or time extensions for delay if the contractor fails to provide the information required in the notice or the requested additional information by the date specified. 104.6 Value Engineering Proposals. A Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) shall provide a product of equal or improved quality that will reduce the project cost, improve safety or decrease the time required to complete the project. A Practical Design Value Engineering Change Proposal (PDVECP) may provide a product of lesser value, use an existing item in place. Using an existing item in place may include an underrun of quantities, but in accordance with Sec 105.4.1, the underrun may not be an apparent error or omission in the plans, as determined by the engineer. The PDVECP shall not adversely affect safety or function of the final product. The contractor is encouraged to submit to the engineer, in writing, VECP’s and PDVECP’s for modifying the plans, specifications or other requirements of the contract. Proposed modifications shall not impair, in any manner, essential functions or characteristics of the project, including but not limited to, service life, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, desired appearance, design or safety standards, and shall not significantly delay the completion of the project. Proposals shall be submitted to the engineer in advance of the work to be performed with sufficient time allowed for review. The Commission will not be liable to the contractor for failure to accept or act upon the proposal nor for any delays to the work attributable to any such proposal. 37104.6.1 Submitting Proposals. Value engineering proposals shall be submitted on the proper form, available on MoDOT’s web site, and shall contain the following information:
a.A description of both the existing contract requirements for performing the work and the proposed changes.
b.A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing contract and under the proposed change.
c.A statement of the time within which the engineer must make a decision thereon, including the probable effect the proposal will have on the contract completion time.
d.An itemized list of the contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including any quantity variation attributable thereto.
e.A description of any previous use or submission of the same proposal by the contractor, including dates, job numbers, results, and/or outcome of proposal if previously submitted. 104.6.2 Conditions. The engineer will only consider VECP’s that meet the following conditions. 104.6.2.1 Contractors may submit value engineering proposals that propose changes in the basic design of a bridge or a pavement, except for pavement and shoulder type. Value engineering proposals will be considered only when the proposal will not significantly delay the completion of the project. 104.6.2.2 The contractor shall continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the contract until a change order incorporating the value engineering proposal has been approved, unless otherwise directed by the engineer. If a change order has not been approved by the date upon which the contractor’s value engineering proposal specifies that a decision thereon should be made, the proposal shall be deemed rejected, unless the time allowed for a decision has been extended by mutual agreement of both parties. 104.6.2.3 The Commission expressly reserves the right to adopt a value engineering proposal as standard practice for use on other contracts administered by the Commission. If an accepted value engineering proposal is adopted as design policy, only contractors submitting such a proposal will be eligible for compensation pursuant to this section until the proposal is incorporated into design policy, and in that case, only as to those contracts awarded to the contractor prior to submission of the accepted value engineering proposal. Value engineering proposals identical or similar to previously submitted proposals will be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of Sec 104.6 if the identical or similar previously submitted proposals were not adopted as design policy by the Commission, or included in the present contract. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the state or any other public agency will have the right to use all or any part of any submitted value engineering proposal without obligation or compensation of any kind to the contractor, except as noted in Sec 104.6.2.4. 104.6.2.4 The contractor may request the return of information submitted with a value engineering proposal if the proposal is rejected, provided this request is in writing and submitted with the proposal. If the proposal is accepted, this request will be void, and the Commission may use or disclose in whole or in part any information necessary to utilize the proposal. 104.6.2.5 Prior to approval, it may be necessary for the engineer to modify a proposal, with the concurrence of the contractor, to make the proposal acceptable. If any modification increases or decreases the net savings resulting from the proposal, the contractor’s share will be determined on the basis of the proposal as modified. 104.6.2.6 An electronic copy of the complete proposal shall be submitted to the engineer for review. The contractor may submit a conceptual proposal for approval stating the basic proposal and approximate cost savings in order to provide the contractor with the opportunity to submit an idea without large initial development costs if the proposal is rejected. Approval or disapproval of proposals will be granted within ten days of receipt of the proposal. 104.6.2.7 A proposal will be disqualified if additional information is not provided at the request of the engineer. This will include design computations, field investigations, results, surveys, etc. 38104.6.2.8 Reimbursement for modifications to the proposal to adjust field or other conditions will be limited to the total amount of the contract bid prices. Rejection, limitation or reimbursement shall not be a basis for any claim against the Commission. 104.6.2.9 The contractor will have no claim to additional costs or delays, including development costs, loss of anticipated profits, or increased material or labor costs, if the proposal is rejected. 104.6.2.10 The engineer will decide whether or not to consider a proposal. The basis for proposal rejections will include excessive review requirements, evaluation or investigation, or if the proposal is inconsistent with project design policies or criteria. 104.6.3 Payment. Payment will meet the following conditions: 104.6.3.1 The engineer will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a value engineering proposal and of the estimated net difference in construction costs from the adoption of all or any part of such a proposal. The engineer may adjust contract prices if, in the judgment of the engineer, such prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of work to be performed or to be deleted. 104.6.3.2 If the contractor’s cost reduction is accepted in whole or in part, such acceptance will be by a change order, which will specifically state that the change order is executed in accordance with Sec 104.6. Such change orders will incorporate the changes in the plans and specifications necessary to permit the value engineering proposal or any part of the proposal that has been accepted, to be put into effect, and will include any conditions upon which the Commission’s approval thereof is based, if the approval of the Commission is conditional. The change order will also set forth the price for performing those items of work affected by the change order and the estimated net savings in the cost of performing the work attributable to the value engineering proposal in the change order, and will further provide that the contractor will be paid 50 percent for VECP’s or 25 percent for PDVECP’s of the actual net savings of the construction costs at the completion of the work affected by the change order. All reasonable documented engineering costs incurred by the contractor to design and develop a value engineering proposal will be reimbursed and subtracted from the savings of the construction costs. All routine internal costs incurred by MoDOT to review and implement the VECP will be at the Commission’s expense. Major redesign costs, and design/review costs of any amount charged by a consultant to the Commission, will be deducted from the gross savings. 104.6.3.3 The amount and time specified in the change order will be considered full compensation to the contractor for the value engineering proposal and for the performance of that work. 104.6.3.4 Only the contractor may submit proposals and be reimbursed for savings, however the contractor may submit proposals for any approved subcontractor. 104.7 Maintenance of Traffic Operations During Construction. 104.7.1 The contractor shall maintain the flow of all traffic over the project, at the contractor’s expense, unless otherwise specified in the contract. Provisions for local traffic, including bicycle and pedestrian traffic, shall be made by the contractor, at the contractor’s expense, at all times during construction, unless otherwise specified in the contract. 104.7.2 If detours for through traffic are to be provided by the Commission at the Commission’s expense or designated on the plans to be constructed and maintained by the contractor around the entire project or any major portion of the work during construction, the engineer may open for use by traffic any uncompleted portions of the project, and will have the option either to maintain such portions with Commission forces or to require the contractor to maintain the detours. If the contractor is required to maintain such opened portions, the contractor will be reimbursed for the cost of such maintenance in accordance with Sec 109.4. However, when the time set for completion, including any authorized extension of time, has elapsed, the contractor will be responsible for all further costs of maintaining such opened portions, whether the open portions are maintained by the contractor’s forces and equipment or by Commission forces. 104.7.3 If the contractor is required to maintain the flow of traffic over the project, including constructed detours or bypasses, such maintenance shall be construed to mean the satisfactory handling of all traffic to maintain safe and substantially uninterrupted flow. The contractor shall maintain the roadbed substantially free of ruts, holes and detrimental surface deformations. The contractor shall control the height of vegetation for 39traffic safety, and shall provide and maintain in a safe condition approaches, crossings and intersections with abutting property to the highway, railroads, trails, roads and streets. Such maintenance shall be performed as necessary from the day the contractor starts construction operations under the contract. Snow removal will not be required of the contractor. 104.7.3.1 Preliminary Maintenance. Prior to the start of construction operations, the contractor shall notify the engineer of any preliminary pavement surface maintenance work that, in the opinion of the contractor, should be completed prior to the contractor assuming maintenance responsibility. The engineer will review such notice and respond with either concurrence or rejection of the request for preliminary maintenance work. If preliminary maintenance work is deemed necessary, the engineer will either arrange for the work to be done by others prior to the start of construction operations or will direct the contractor to perform the work prior to the start of construction operations. If the contractor is directed to perform the work, payment will be made per Sec 109.4. 104.7.4 When it is to the advantage of the Commission, projects involving pavement may be opened to traffic as soon as the surface has been sufficiently cured, even though the shoulders and other items of work may not be completed. Such projects or portions of projects will be inspected and a partial acceptance made as to the work completed, and the contractor will be required to complete any remaining construction items under traffic. 104.7.5 When the engineer opens for use by traffic any unfinished portions of the project as provided under Secs 104.7.2 or 104.7.4, the contractor will be compensated in accordance with Sec 109.4 for any documented actual additional costs approved by the engineer. Any documented inefficiencies, delays or other time related effects approved by the engineer will be an excusable delay only as provided by Sec 108.14. 104.8 Surfacing for Temporary Use. Surfacing for the temporary use of traffic shall, when directed by the engineer, be applied to areas necessary to provide satisfactory ingress and egress to private property, across the project or along the roadway. Such surfacing will be authorized if traffic cannot be handled satisfactorily by the contractor maintaining a reasonably smooth and drainable earth surface in accordance with Sec 104.7. The quantity, quality and type of surfacing will be designated by the engineer. Acceptance of the material will be based on visual examination. 104.8.1 Measurement of material furnished for temporary surfacing will be made in accordance with Sec 310.5, excluding any deductions for moisture. 104.8.2 The quantity of surfacing for temporary use authorized and accepted will be paid for at the contract unit price. Regardless of overruns or underruns, no adjustment will be made in the price for this material. 104.8.3 Preparing a subgrade, spreading or laying surfacing for temporary use, maintaining the surfacing, future removal or scarifying, if necessary, shall be at the contractor’s expense. 104.9 Rights In and Use of Material Found on the Work. The contractor, with written approval from the engineer, may use in the construction of the project any stone, gravel or sand found in the excavation that conforms to the requirements of the specifications for material. The Commission will not pay for damages or for anticipated profits on account of the expected use of any material shown on the plans as existing and later found to be nonexistent or unfit for use. Payment will be made to cover the removal of such material at the contract unit price for excavation of the classification under which the excavation properly belongs. If such material is used instead of material that was to have been furnished at the expense of the contractor under the terms of the contract, the contractor shall furnish sufficient suitable material, at no additional expense to the Commission, to complete the roadway. Unless authorized in writing by the engineer, the contractor shall not excavate or remove from within the right of way any material that is not within the excavation limits as indicated by the slope and grade lines.

104.10 Mailboxes, Signs and Markers.

104.10.1 Mailboxes. Mailboxes within the limits of the project that will interfere with operations shall be

removed by the contractor before work is begun. Mailboxes shall be set temporarily where the mailbox will be accessible to both the carrier and the patron, and shall be properly reset by the contractor at designated locations before final acceptance of the work by the Commission. Mailboxes damaged by the contractor shall be replaced by the contractor at the contractor’s expense. All mailbox supports set by the contractor shall be in accordance with AASHTO guidelines. Mailboxes may be reset by the contractor using only approved supports furnished 40either by the postal patron or by the engineer. No direct payment will be made for the removal, relocation or replacement of mailboxes or supports.

104.10.2 Signs and Markers. Signs and markers within the limits of the project that will interfere with

operations shall be removed by the contractor before work is begun. All such signs and markers required for safe control and guidance of traffic shall be temporarily reset, readily visible to traffic, and shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition. If the nature of the work makes temporary relocation impractical, the signs shall be placed on movable supports and maintained in accordance with Sec 616. Stop and yield signs at intersecting roadways shall be maintained where signs are readily visible to traffic at all times. Other individual signs may be moved aside only when signs interfere with actual operations. All required signs and markers shall be properly located to control traffic at all times. Final removal of signs and markers will be permitted only when permanent signs and markers have been installed. All signs and markers will remain the property of the Commission and shall, after final removal, be delivered without damage to locations within the project limits as directed by the engineer. No direct payment will be made for removal, relocation, temporary supports, maintenance or final removal and delivery of signs and markers.

104.10.3 Right of Way Markers and Plaques. All right of way marker posts or markers damaged by the

contractor’s operations shall be replaced at the contractors’ expense, and installed in accordance with Sec 602 and the standard drawings. Replacements for damaged right of way marker plaques will be furnished by the Commission.

104.11 Final Clean Up.

104.11.1 Before final acceptance, the contractor shall restore to a condition equal to or better than that existing

prior to construction all property, both public and private, within, adjacent to and beyond the limits of construction that have been disturbed or damaged by prosecution of the work. Restoration work shall be at the contractor’s expense.

104.11.2 When specified in the contract, the contractor shall open and clean all existing channels and culverts

from all excess mud or silt, drift, brush or debris of any kind. Any material excavated in cleaning existing channels will be paid for as roadway excavation of like classification. Any material excavated in cleaning out culverts that are used in place will be paid for at the contract price per each structure. However, only the initial excavation will be paid for, and any subsequent cleaning required prior to final acceptance shall be at the contractor’s expense.

104.12 Requirements for Projects Involving Work On Railroad Right of Way.

104.12.1 All work on, over or under railroad right of way shall be performed by the contractor without damage

to the facilities and property of the railroad or the railroad’s lessees, and in strict observance of requirements of the engineer and railroad for the safety of railroad property and operations. The contractor shall maintain the existing or proposed depth and section of the ditches along the tracks of railroads through the limits of construction. Any sediment resulting from new construction shall be promptly removed.

104.12.2 The contractor shall indemnify the railroad for any loss or damage to the railroad property, right of

way, tracks and other facilities, hereafter referred to as property, caused by acts or omissions of the contractor, or any of the contractor’s subcontractors, in performing work on a project, whether on, over, under or in the vicinity of railroad property. In the event the contractor fails to restore railroad property immediately to a condition acceptable to the railroad when any such loss or damage to railroad property is called to the contractor’s attention by the railroad, then the railroad may perform such corrective work at the contractor’s cost.

104.12.3 Prior to beginning any work on, over or under railroad right of way, the contractor shall furnish to the

railroad’s engineer evidence of “Commercial Auto Liability Insurance,” “Commercial General Liability Insurance” and “Railroad Protective Liability Insurance” in accordance with the contract documents and special provisions, which will establish the limits of each type of insurance.

104.12.4 The term “loss or damage” as used in Sec 104.12 will include, but not be limited to, the erosion and

silting of, water damage to, and the accidental or intentional placing or dropping of objects on railroad property. 41104.12.5 Work performed on, over or under railroad right of way will be subject to the inspection of railroad representatives.

104.12.6 The Commission will make provisions for any temporary removal of railroad or railroad lessees’

facilities that are to be moved.

104.12.7 The contractor shall in no way hold the Commission liable for delay caused by securing the railroad

company’s approval of construction features involved in placing any grade separation structure, the removal of any structures over the railroad’s right of way, shoring plans that could affect the railroad’s facilities or operation or any changes from the design plans that appear desirable during construction.

104.12.8 Construction requirements for projects involving work upon railroad right of way will be as follows.

104.12.8 1 Fiber optic, communications, control systems and other types of cable may be buried on railroad

property. Before beginning work, the contractor shall contact the railroad to determine if cable systems are buried on the railroad property to be used by the contractor.

Repairs to damaged utilities caused by negligent or wrongful acts or omissions on the part of the contractor shall be corrected at the contractor's expense. Damaged facilities shall be restored to a condition similar or equal to that existing before the damage occurred. 105.7.4 In the event of any damage, dislocation or disturbance of any underground facility in connection with any excavation, the contractor shall immediately notify Missouri One Call and cooperate with the utility owners until their facilities have been restored. Work shall not begin around any fire hydrants until provisions for continued service have been made and approved by the local fire authority. 105.7.5 The contractor shall be solely responsible and liable for incidental and consequential damage to any utility facilities or interruption of the service caused by it or its subcontractor's operation. The contractor shall hold and save harmless the Commission from damages to any utility facility's interruption of service by it or its subcontractor's operation. 46105.7.6 The contractor agrees that any effects of the presence of the utilities, their relocation, contractor’s coordination of work with the utilities and any delay in utility relocation shall not be compensable as a suspension of work, extra work, a change in the work, as a differing site condition or otherwise including but, without limitation, delay, impact, incidental or consequential damages. The contractor’s sole remedy for the effects of the presence of utilities, delay in their relocation or any other effects shall be an excusable delay as provided in Sec 105.7.6.1. The contractor waives, for itself, its subcontractors and suppliers the compensability of the presence of utilities, delay in their relocation and any cost to the contractor, it’s subcontractors and suppliers in any claim or action arising out of or in relation to the work under the contract. 105.7.6.1 When the failure of the owners of utility facilities to cooperate and coordinate their work with that of the contractor results in actual delay to the contractor in the overall completion of the contractor’s work, such delay will be considered in the count of working days or date specified for completion as contractor’s sole compensation from the Commission, provided the contractor notified the engineer in writing of the delay at the time the delay occurred. 105.7.7 Should there be located within the right of way any public or private utility facilities that are to remain in place and that will interfere with the contractor’s proposed methods of operation, the contractor, in cooperation with the engineer, shall make all necessary arrangements with the owner for any temporary or permanent removal or relocation of such facilities desired for the contractor’s convenience. Any cost involved shall be at the contractor’s expense. 105.7.8 If utility facilities or appurtenances are found that are not noted in the contract documents and could not be discovered in accordance with Sec 102.5, the engineer will determine whether relocation of the utility is necessary to accommodate construction. If relocation is necessary, the engineer will make necessary arrangements with the utility owner and the contractor. Compensability and excusability will be determined under Secs 104 and 108. 105.8 Construction Stakes, Lines and Grades. Surveying, project layout and setting of construction stakes will be performed by the contractor in accordance with Sec 627. 105.9 Authority and Duties of Resident Engineer. As the immediate representative of the Commission, the resident engineer has direct charge of the engineering details of each construction project and is delegated commensurate authority for the administration of the project. The resident engineer may reject defective material and suspend and reject any work that is being improperly performed. The resident engineer will have no authority to modify the contract except in accordance with the contract documents or when expressly authorized by the Commission.

105.10 Inspection of Work. All material and each part or detail of the work will be subject to inspection by the

engineer. The engineer shall be allowed unlimited access to all parts of the work and shall be furnished with such information and assistance by the contractor as is required to make a complete and detailed inspection.

will not be subject to cure by making the claim or supplying the details in any later court or alternative dispute resolution proceeding.

105.16.11 2 MoDOT has established a written procedure for handling contractor claims and controversies that

provides the process for resolution of all claims and the engineer’s final decision. The completion of that process and the engineer’s final decision will be a condition precedent to any legal action, counterclaim, defense, set-off or arbitration concerning the matters claimed. Any claim or controversy, or any portion thereof that has not been presented for handling in accordance with MoDOT’s contractor claims and controversies procedure will not be subject to resolution in an alternate dispute resolution process.

105.16.12 MoDOT’s review of a claim pursuant to Sec 105.16 will be in addition to the right or duty of MoDOT

or the Commission to conduct audits or other reviews of a claim or contractor’s books of account or operations otherwise provided by federal or state laws or the rules of civil procedure.

The contractor 55shall cause this provision to be incorporated in all of the contractor’s agreements with, and to be binding upon, all subcontractors in the performance of this agreement.

105.18 Arbitration.

105.18.1 Purpose. By adoption of 226.096 RSMo (L. 2003, HB 668), certain controversies or claims to which

the Missouri Department of Transportation is a party that arises out of or relates to a contract awarded pursuant to subdivision (9) of subsection 1 of 226.130 (RSMo) subject to certain limits and preconditions are subject to, “be settled (sic) by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules, except as provided, in 226.096”. Under the provisions of Chap. 435 RSMo arbitration is the subject of agreement between the parties to a contract. This section provides for incorporation of the, American Arbitration Association’s, Construction Industry Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (AAA Rules), amended and effective on the date arbitration is demanded and for their modification and revisions as permitted by the AAA Rules and Chap. 435 RSMo.

105.18.2 Incorporation. The AAA Rules are incorporated as part of the contract except as amended or

excluded. The AAA Rules are further expressly amended or excluded as provided herein and as provided directly or indirectly by 226.096 RSMo (L. 2003, HB 668) and Chap. 435 RSMo.

Arbitration demands, issues, nature or amount of relief sought, shall not differ or be additional to that in the Notice of Controversy or Claim for contract adjustment provided for in the contract. There may not be a revision of the issues, nature of relief sought or increase in relief during or by way of any presentation of evidence during the arbitration. No award may be upon different issues or basis of relief or provide relief different in nature or greater in amount than contained in the Notice of Controversy or Claim given under the contract and stated in the demand for arbitration.

105.18.3 7 R-7. Consolidation or Joinder. Shall be replaced with the following:

If Commission expressly agrees in writing with regard to multiple disputes arising under a particular contract, multiple demands may be consolidated so long as the relief sought in total does not exceed $409,123 in the principal relief sought, as adjusted on an annual basis effective January first of each year in accordance with the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures as calculated pursuant to subsection 5 of section 537.610, RSMo. See http://insurance.mo.gov/industry/sovimmunity.php. Demands to which Commission is not a party in direct privity of contract will never be joined. The issue of consolidation of claims and joinder of parties will not be arbitrable. Nothing in this section shall prohibit more than one demand for arbitration 56pursuant to the same contract, provided that each demand for arbitration arises from a separate claim based upon facts supporting a separate right of relief, filed with the Department and accepted by the department under the Missouri Department of Transportation’s “Contractor Claims and Controversies Procedures”. Neither shall a prime contractor be prohibited from filing a demand for arbitration arising from work, which was subcontracted provided that; (a) the claim was initially accepted by the department under “Contractor Claims and Controversies Procedures.” and (b) would provide a right to contract adjustment separate from any claimed or which could be claimed by the prime contractor for its sole benefit.

105.19 Electronic Signatures. The contractor may utilize a verifiable electronic signature to sign contract

documents. The electronic signature shall be verified by a recognized independent third party or the Construction and Materials Divisions. 60SECTION 106 CONTROL OF MATERIAL 106.1 Source of Supply and Quality Requirements. 106.1.1 All material needed in the work shall be furnished by the contractor, unless otherwise stated in the contract. The contractor shall assume full responsibility for ordering material of the required quality and quantity. The contractor shall be responsible for the delivered costs of all material ordered. 106.1.2 The material used in the work shall meet all quality requirements of the contract, and shall be obtained from supply sources that meet the approval of the engineer. If a uniform product is not being furnished from a supply source or if for any reason, the product from any source at any time proves to be unsatisfactory, the contractor may be required to furnish approved material from other sources. The engineer may reject the entire output of any source where it is impractical to secure a continuous flow of uniformly satisfactory material. 106.1.3 Any work incorporating material having no prior approval from the engineer shall be performed at the contractor’s risk and may be considered unacceptable and unauthorized and, if so considered, will not be paid for. If a change in source will affect the control or appearance of the work, the use of any one kind or class of material for a specific project from more than one source will be prohibited, except as approved by the engineer. If approved, the engineer will set forth the conditions under which the change may be made. 106.1.4 Material will be subject to inspection or test at any time during production or manufacture or at any subsequent time prior to or after incorporation into the work. The points of inspection will be determined by the engineer. Material for sampling will be selected by the engineer. Material provided by the source solely as a sample of that material for testing verification will not be permitted. Initial inspection, testing and approval or rejection will be made as early as practical. The engineer may waive any of the requirements regarding determination of quality and accept material on certification or visual inspection if, in the judgment of the engineer, the quantity involved is too small or the material use is not sufficiently important to warrant tests. 106.1.5 To expedite the inspection and testing of material, the contractor shall submit a list of proposed sources of material to the engineer at the pre-construction conference or two weeks prior to beginning work, whichever is earlier. The list shall be in a format acceptable to the engineer. At the option of the engineer, material may be approved at the source of supply before delivery is started. 106.2 Local Material Sources. 106.2.1 Designated Sources. The Commission may acquire the right and make available to the contractor the right to take material from sources designated on the plans or described in the contract including the right to use designated property if so specified, for plant site, stockpiles and haul roads. In general, the quality of material contained in such sources will be considered acceptable, but the contractor shall determine the method of operation, equipment and work required to produce a material meeting the specifications from the source. Designation of a source for material will not be a representation of the quantity of acceptable material obtainable or the method, equipment or work required to obtain material from the source. It is not feasible to ascertain from samples the limits for an entire deposit, and variations will be considered as usual and are to be expected. The engineer may order procurement of material from any portion of a deposit and may reject portions of the deposit as unacceptable. 106.2.2 Contractor Furnished Sources. If sources of material are not designated on the plans or described in the contract, or if the contractor desires to use material from sources other than those designated, the contractor shall acquire the necessary rights to take material from the sources and shall pay all costs related thereto, including any that may result from an increase in length of haul. All costs of exploring, meeting environmental requirements and developing such other sources shall be at the contractor’s expense. Environmental compliance documentation shall follow MoDOT requirements for contractor furnished borrow, as described in Sec 203.3, and shall be submitted to the engineer for review and approval. The use of material from other than designated sources will not be permitted until representative samples taken by the contractor in the presence of the engineer have been approved and written authority is issued for the use thereof.

Requests for permission to sublet, assign or otherwise dispose of any portion of the contract shall be in writing and accompanied by evidence that the organization that will perform the work is particularly experienced and equipped for such work. In case such consent is given, the contractor will be permitted to sublet a portion thereof, but the contractor's organization shall perform work amounting to no less than 40 percent of the total contract cost. Certification or classification of a contractor by type of work performed or consent to a subcontract shall not constitute the Commission's endorsement of the qualifications of the subcontractor or that the particular subcontractor’s work will constitute compliance with any other provisions of the contract. 108.1.2 The value of the work sublet will be the amount designated in the contractual agreement between the contractor and the subcontractor. The subcontractor shall perform the work described in the subcontract agreement. No subcontracts, or transfer of contract, will in any case release the contractor's liability under the contract and bonds. Consent to a subcontract will not create a direct contractual relationship between the subcontractor and the Commission. 108.1.3 The contractor shall furnish to the Commission a complete copy of the signed subcontract, and all revisions upon request. 108.1.4 A contractor, at the discretion of the engineer, may make a substitution for a subcontract that was disclosed with the bid in accordance with Sec 102.7 or may add a subcontract that would have required disclosure in accordance with Sec 102.7. The contractor shall submit the name of the new subcontractor, the category of work, the dollar value of each subcontract and the reason for the substitution or addition in writing to the engineer for consideration. 108.2 Notice to Proceed. The notice to proceed will stipulate the date the contractor is expected to begin work. The Commission will issue the notice to proceed by stipulating the date on the notice of award sent to all successful bidders, or on a separate form for this purpose. Prior to the stipulated date, the contractor shall execute and file the prescribed number of copies of the contract and bond and shall furnish to the Commission satisfactory evidence of having complied with insurance requirements. 108.3 Prosecution of Work. The contractor will be expected to start work on the date stipulated by the notice to proceed. If all contract requirements have been met in accordance with Sec 108.2 the contractor may start work before the date stipulated by the notice to proceed, provided the engineer is notified in writing at least three days prior to the date on which the contractor expects to begin. 108.3.1 The contractor shall continuously and diligently prosecute the work in such order and manner as will ensure the completion of the work within the specified time, and the contractor shall be fully responsible for the prosecution and coordination of all work being performed under the contract. 108.3.2 The work in progress shall receive the personal attention either of the contractor or of a competent and reliable representative of the contractor who shall have full and final authority to act for the contractor. If authority is delegated to a representative of the contractor, the contractor shall notify the engineer in writing, stating the name of the person authorized to act as the contractor’s representative, and stating the name or names of persons authorized to sign the various documents such as weekly reports, change orders, force account statements, labor payrolls and any other documents that may be required during the progress of the work. If progress at any time is not adequate to meet the contractor's schedule and the contract completion time, the contractor shall take all steps necessary to complete the work in the time and manner specified in the contract. 108.3.3 Prior to beginning any work on contracts involving a joint venture, the joint venturers shall appoint and maintain a single representative having full and final authority to act for the joint venture. The engineer shall be notified in writing of the name of this representative and of any replacements. 108.4 Progress Schedules. The contractor shall submit a progress schedule to the engineer for review prior to or at the pre-construction conference. The progress schedule shall be used to establish construction operations and 76to monitor the progress of the work, although the engineer's determination of the then major operation or controlling item of work will always prevail. The progress schedule shall be in the form specified in Sec 108.4.1, unless the contract contains different requirements. The progress schedule shall be based on the number of working days, calendar days or other increments as set forth in the contract that the contractor expects to require in completing the project, recognizing the capabilities of labor, equipment, arrangements for material, mobilization, shop drawing preparation and approvals, and other relevant items. If an electronic computer software program is used to generate the schedule, the initial and any revised schedules shall be accompanied by a disk containing the schedule files in the native format of the software program used to create the schedule. The disk shall be labeled with the contract ID, route, county, date of revision, and the name of the software program used. The contractor will not be required to provide any copies of the software program. 108.4.1 Form and Contents of Progress Schedule. The progress schedule shall contain an activities schedule bar chart and may, at the contractor's option, include a written narrative that breaks down into detail the time in working days, calendar days or completion date involved in performing all construction activities for the duration of the project, and which is in a suitable scale as to indicate the percentage of work scheduled for completion at any time. The schedule shall indicate all interdependencies between activities. The progress schedule shall also clearly outline the intended maintenance of traffic, work phasing provided by the contract and such other information, as required by the contract. 108.4.2 Preparation of Initial Schedule. The contractor shall complete development of a progress schedule and present a copy to the engineer prior to or at the pre-construction conference. 108.4.2.1 The construction time, as indicated by the progress schedule, for the entire project or any milestone, shall not exceed the specified contract time. If any milestone date or contract completion date is exceeded in the schedule, time estimates on the progress schedule shall be revised. The controlling activity shall be clearly shown for each day of the schedule. A controlling activity will be defined as that part of a progress-controlling item or items that must be performed before the next progress-controlling item of work can be started. Following a review of the progress schedule by the engineer, the engineer and contractor will meet for a joint review, correction and adjustment of the schedule, if necessary. 108.4.2.2 If necessary this process will be repeated. However, the schedule shall be finalized by the contractor within seven days after request for correction and adjustment to the schedule. 108.4.3 Cost and Intent of Progress Schedules. The review by the engineer of any progress schedule will not constitute a determination that the schedule is reasonable, that following the schedule will result in timely completion, or that deviation will result in a delayed completion. The progress schedule, and any updates provided, is not a part of the contract. If the schedule reflects a completion date different than that specified in the contract, that does not void the completion date or working days specified in the contract. If any schedule reflects a completion time earlier than that specified in the contract, the contractor specifically understands that no claim for additional contract time or compensation will lie against the Commission if the work is not completed by the earlier time shown on the schedule. It will be the contractor's responsibility to determine the most feasible order of work consistent with the requirements of the contract. 108.4.3.1 No direct payment will be made for furnishing progress schedules or revisions. 108.4.3.2 If the contractor fails to comply with the requirement to supply an initial or any revised progress schedule, the engineer may withhold progress payments until a schedule has been submitted and reviewed. 108.4.4 Revised Progress Schedules. The contractor shall provide a revised progress schedule, which will then become the current progress schedule:

a.When departure from the existing progress schedule makes it apparent to the engineer or the contractor that the project will not be completed in the time provided in the contract.
b.When the engineer or the contractor determines that the progress schedule requires revisions for any reason. 108.5 Labor, Methods and Equipment. The contractor shall at all times employ sufficient labor, methods and equipment for prosecuting the work to full completion in the time and manner required by the contract. 77108.5.1 All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to properly perform work assigned. The engineer may demand the dismissal of any person employed by the contractor in, about or upon the work, who engages in misconduct, is incompetent or negligent in the due and proper performance of assigned duties, or who neglects or refuses to comply with any proper directions given. Such a person shall not again be employed thereon without the written consent of the engineer. Should the contractor continue to employ or re-employ any such person, the engineer may suspend the work until the contractor complies with such orders. 108.5.2 All equipment used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such mechanical condition to meet requirements of the work and to produce satisfactory work. The condition or use of equipment on any portion of the project shall not cause damage to the roadway, adjacent property or other highways, or injury to any person. 108.5.3 The intent of the contract is to provide performance-type specifications to the extent consistent with producing finished work meeting the intent of the contract documents. Therefore, the methods and equipment to be used by the contractor in accomplishing the work will not be prescribed in the contract, and the contractor is free to use any method or equipment that will accomplish the contract work in conformity with the requirements of the contract. The failure of the engineer to object to contractor's equipment or methods will never constitute agreement that the equipment or methods used are appropriate. 108.5.4 If the contract specifies that the construction be performed by the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and equipment shall be used unless otherwise authorized by the engineer. If the contractor desires to use a method or type of equipment other than those specified in the contract, authority shall be requested from the engineer. The request shall be in writing, including a full description of the proposed methods and equipment to be used and an explanation of the reasons for making the change. If approval is given, the contractor shall be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with the contract. If the engineer determines that the work produced does not meet contract requirements after use of the substitute method or equipment, the contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall complete the remaining construction with the methods and equipment specified in the contract. The contractor shall remove deficient work and replace the work as specified in the contract, or take such other corrective action as directed by the engineer. Except as provided in Sec 104, no change will be made in the basis of payment for the construction items involved or in contract time as a result of approving any method or equipment change. 108.6 Temporary Suspension of Work. The engineer has authority to suspend any or all of the work in accordance with Sec 105 for such time as necessary. If it becomes necessary to stop work for an indefinite period, the contractor shall store all material in a manner that will protect the material from theft or damage, shall not unnecessarily obstruct traffic, shall take every precaution to prevent damage to or deterioration of work performed, shall provide suitable drainage of the roadway by opening ditches, shoulder drains, etc. and shall erect temporary structures where necessary. The contractor may suspend work for reasonable cause upon written approval from the engineer. During such a period in which work is suspended, liquidated damages will not accrue unless such suspension is due to the contractor's failure to comply with the contract. If work has been suspended, the contractor shall notify the engineer in writing at least 48 hours before resuming operations. 108.7 Contract Time for Completion of the Work. The time for the completion of the work is specified by calendar days, calendar date or working days in the contract. Time is an essential element of the contract, and it is therefore important that the work be pursued vigorously to completion. 108.7.1 Completion by Calendar Days or Calendar Date. Any computation of time by calendar days or calendar date will be based on the seasonal importance of days on the basis of weighted time tables on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Commission and available on the MoDOT website. If a change in the work is directed by the engineer, the contractor will be allowed an extension of contract time based on the weighted time tables and the ratio of the cost of such additional work to the contract price, unless it can be established that the additional work required more time than is indicated. In such cases, the actual time required, as determined by the engineer, may be allowed. 108.7.1.1 If the notice to proceed is not issued and effective within 35 days after the award or the later date specified in the contract due to any failure of the Commission, the contractor will be given an extension of contract time equal to the number of calendar days after the 35th day or the later date specified in the contract, until the notice to proceed is effective. Such a delay in the effective date of the notice to proceed will be an excusable, noncompensable delay. 78108.7.1.2 The contractor will not be entitled to any extension of contract time because of unsuitable weather conditions or the effects of weather conditions unless authorized in writing by the engineer as an excusable, noncompensable delay under Sec 108.14.1. 108.7.2 Completion by Working Days. If the time for the completion of the work is based on working days, this time will be specified in the contract. A working day will be defined as any day when, in the judgment of the engineer, soil and weather conditions would permit the major operation of the project for six hours or more, unless other unavoidable conditions prevent the contractor's operations. If conditions require the contractor to stop work in less than six hours, the day will not be counted as a working day. 108.7.2.1 December 15 to March 15, both dates inclusive and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays established by law will not be counted as working days. 108.7.2.2 The count of working days will start on the date the contractor starts construction operations, or the effective date of the notice to proceed, whichever is earlier. The engineer will determine when a working day is to be charged. The engineer may make allowance for working days lost due to causes justifying their elimination from the count of working days. No allowance will be made for delay or suspension of the prosecution of the work due to fault of the contractor. On each contractor pay estimate the engineer will give the contractor written notice of the number of working days charged since the preceding pay estimate. Any objection by the contractor to the number of working days so charged shall be made in writing within five days, setting forth the contractor's objections and specifying the reasons therefore, or those objections shall be forever waived and will not constitute the basis for an excusable or compensable delay. 108.7.2.2.1 Where projects specify signal or lighting equipment as the major work items, working days will not begin until 104 calendar days after the date of the Notice to Proceed or until such time as the signal or lighting equipment is available to the contractor, or until the contractor begins work, whichever date is the earliest, to allow time for the fabrication and delivery of signal posts and lighting poles. 108.7.2.3 In case the final value of all work performed exceeds the original contract amount, an extension in the working days will be granted the contractor. The extension will be made by increasing the contract time by the ratio of the total final cost of all work performed under the contract to the total amount of the original contract. Incentive/disincentive, bonus or deduction adjustments will not be used in this computation. For a combination of projects awarded as a single contract, the extension will be made in a similar manner. If it can be established that the extra work required more time than indicated, the actual number of working days required, as determined by the engineer, may be allowed. 108.8 Liquidated Damages for Failure or Delay in Completing Work on Time. 108.8.1 If the contractor or, in case of default, the surety fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, or within such extra time as may be allowed in the preceding sections, a deduction of an amount specified in the contract will be made for each day that the contract remains incomplete after the time allowed for completion. The amount specified in the contract is agreed upon, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for loss to the Commission and the public. This amount will be deducted from any money due the contractor. The contractor and surety will be liable for all liquidated damages. Permitting the contractor to continue the work after the expiration of the specified time or any extension of time will not constitute a waiver by the Commission of any contractual rights. 108.8.1.1 The liquidated damages shown in the contract will be listed separately as contract administrative costs and project road user costs. A combination of projects awarded as a single contract will be considered as one unit for the determination and assessment of the administrative liquidated damages. The road user costs will be specified independently for each project in the contract and will be assessed independently for each project not completed within the time specified in the contract. 108.8.1.2 The Commission may waive the road user cost as may accrue if the work is deemed to be significantly complete. A project will be considered significantly complete when all necessary signing, pavement markings in accordance with Sec 620, guardrail, signals, all permanent traffic control devices and other safety appurtenances have been installed and are operational. At a minimum, traffic must have complete use of the roadways and shoulders, with no delays due to construction activity. The suspension of the road user cost by the engineer will not constitute a waiver by the Commission of any contractual rights, and its application will be contingent upon the discretion of the engineer in completing the remaining items of work. 79108.8.1.3 Regardless of the method used to specify contract time for completion of the work, liquidated damages will not be charged as follows:
a.From December 15 through March 15, both dates inclusive.
b.For Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays established by Missouri law.
c.During any period of sod maintenance, as specified in Sec 803, if such maintenance is the only work remaining and the contractor can perform the maintenance without inconveniencing the traveling public.
d.During the final 15 consecutive day test period for a signal system, as specified in Sec 902, provided all other work has been completed. 108.8.2 The Commission will not be required to file a claim or counterclaim under Sec 105.16.5 or any other provision, to assess or retain liquidated damages. 108.8.3 The contractor and surety shall be liable for liquidated damages chargeable under the contract when the work is completed after default of the contract, unless the delay is caused by the Commission. A delay in the work or the final completion of the project caused by the Commission shall not void the provisions of the contract as to liquidated damages and will be considered an excusable, noncompensable delay. 108.9 Signal and Lighting Malfunctions. If the engineer invokes the option under Secs 901, 902 or 903 to have MoDOT personnel or a third party correct a lighting, signal or sign lighting malfunction, the contractor will be charged for the service. If MoDOT personnel make the correction, the charge will be computed as five times the cost for all replacement parts, equipment rental, salaries and fringe benefits. If a third party makes the correction, the contractor will be charged 1.2 times the charges billed the Commission by the third party. However, in no case will the charge be less than $100.

108.10 Default of Contract. After notice and an opportunity to remedy, the engineer may declare the contractor

in default, if the contractor:

a.Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified to begin work.
b.Fails to perform the work with sufficient resources to assure the timely completion of the work.
c.Fails to perform the work in accordance with the contract requirements, or neglects or refuses to remove and replace rejected material or unacceptable work.
d.Discontinues the prosecution of the work.
e.Fails to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice to do so.
f.Becomes insolvent, is declared bankrupt or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, allows any final judgment to remain unsatisfied or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
g.Fails to comply with contract requirements regarding prevailing wage payments, DBE or EEO requirements.
h.Is a party to fraud.

108.10.1 The engineer will give notice in writing to the contractor and surety of the condition described in Sec

108.10, and advise the contractor and surety of the actions required for remedy. If the contractor does not proceed to remedy the condition within ten days of receipt of this notice, the engineer may declare the contractor in default. The declaration of default will be made in writing to the contractor and the surety.

108.10.2 If within ten days after receipt of the declaration of default, the surety does not proceed to assume the

contract for completion under the direction of the engineer, the Commission has full power and authority, without impairing the obligation of the contract or the bond: 80(a) To take over the completion of the work.

b.To appropriate or use any or all project material and equipment that is suitable and acceptable.
c.To enter into agreements with others.
d.To use such other methods as in its judgment may be required for the completion of the contract in an acceptable manner.

108.10.3 Liability for Costs. The contractor and surety shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred in

completing the work, and for all liquidated damages in conformity with the contract. The contractor and surety are obligated to comply with all change orders and directives of the engineer to the same extent, and for the same compensation, if any, as the contractor would have been in the absence of default. In case the sum of such liquidated damages and the expense so incurred is less than the sum that would have been payable under the contract if the work had been completed by the contractor, the contractor or surety will be entitled to receive the difference. If the sum of such expense and such liquidated damages exceeds the sum that would have been payable under the contract, the contractor and surety will be liable and shall pay the amount of such excess. This provision will apply regardless of whether the surety or the Commission completes the contract work. The contractor and surety will solely be liable for the costs and expenses of a completing contractor, laborers and suppliers with which either has contracted.

108.10.4 If it is determined after termination of the contractor's right to proceed that the contractor was not in

default, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Commission under Sec 108.11. Sums to which a contractor may be entitled as a result of the contract termination will be limited to amounts determined under Sec 108.11.

108.10.5 Sureties' Continued Acceptability. A surety failing to proceed within ten days after the written

declaration of default by the engineer under Sec 108.10 may be required to show cause to the Commission why the surety should continue to be accepted for future bonds.

108.11 Termination of Contract for Convenience of the Commission. The Commission may terminate the

entire contract, or any portion thereof, if the engineer determines that a termination is in the Commission's best interest. The engineer will deliver to the contractor and surety a notice of termination specifying the extent of termination and the effective date. A termination of the contract for convenience may be directed at any time after the Commission has made a determination to award a contract. The bidding documents may provide for a termination of the contract for convenience under this section upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event after bid opening.

108.11.1 Submittals and Procedures. After receipt of a notice of termination, the contractor shall immediately

proceed with the following obligations:

a.Stop work as specified in the notice.
b.Place no further subcontracts or orders for material, supplies, services or facilities, except as necessary to complete the portion of the contract that has not been terminated.
c.Terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to the work terminated.
d.Settle with subcontractors and suppliers all outstanding liabilities arising from the termination.
e.Transfer title and deliver to the Commission, work in progress, completed work, supplies and other material produced or acquired for the work terminated, and completed or partially completed plans, drawings, information and other property that, if the contract had been completed, would be required to be furnished to the Commission.
f.Complete performance of the work not terminated.
g.Take any action that the engineer directs to protect and preserve contract-related property that is in the possession of the contractor in which the Commission has or may acquire an interest. 81108.11.2 Settlement Provisions. When the Commission orders termination of all or a part of the contract effective on a certain date, completed items of work as of that date will be paid for at the contract unit price. Payment for partially completed work will be made either at agreed prices or under the provisions below. When items are eliminated in their entirety by such termination, the contractor will be paid for actual work done and actual costs incurred before notification, including mobilization of equipment or material.

108.11.2 1 Additional Costs. Within 60 days of the effective termination date, the contractor shall submit any

request for additional damages or costs not covered in Sec 108.11 or elsewhere in the contract. Such a request may include only such cost items as: mobilization, overhead expenses proven to be attributable to the project or the part terminated and not paid for under work not terminated, subcontractor costs not otherwise paid for, actual idle equipment and idle labor cost only for any time the work is stopped in advance of the termination date, guaranteed payments for private land usage as part of the original contract, and any other actual cost for which the contractor feels reimbursement should be made.

108.11.2 1.1 Anticipated profits, including anticipated earnings on usage of owned equipment, and impact, delay

or other direct or indirect costs resulting from this termination that are not expressly authorized, will not be compensable as part of any settlement.

108.11.2 1.2 The contractor and the engineer may agree upon the whole or any part of the amount to be paid

because of the termination. The amount may include a reasonable allowance for profit on work done. The agreed amount may not exceed the total contract price as reduced by the amount of payments previously made and the contract price of work not terminated. The contract will be amended and the contractor paid the agreed amount.

108.11.2 2 Additional Cost Review. If the contractor and the engineer fail to agree on the whole amount to be

paid the contractor because of the termination of work, the Commission will pay the amounts determined as follows, but without duplication of any amounts agreed upon in Sec 108.11.2.1:

a.For contract work performed before the effective date of termination, the total, without duplication of any items of:
1.The actual cost of work performed.
2.The cost of settling and paying termination settlements under terminated subcontracts that are properly chargeable to the terminated portion of the contract if not included in Sec

108.11.2 1.

3.A sum for profit on the actual cost of work performed as determined by the engineer to be fair and reasonable. The engineer will allow no profit under this section if the contractor's costs incurred on work performed exceed the contract prices paid.
b.The reasonable costs to settle the work terminated, including:
1.Internal accounting and clerical expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation of termination settlement proposals and support data, including expenses for termination and settlement of subcontracts.
2.Storage, transportation and other costs incurred, reasonably necessary for the preservation, protection or disposition of the termination inventory.
c.For normal spoilage and to the extent that the engineer expressly accepts the risk of loss. The engineer will exclude the fair value of property that is destroyed, lost, stolen or damaged so as to become undeliverable to the Commission or to the buyer.

108.11.2 2.1 In arriving at the amount due the contractor under this clause, there will be deducted:

a.All advanced payments for mobilization, services or facilities, or other payments to the contractor under the terminated portion of the contract. 82(b) Any claim that the Commission has against the contractor under the contract.
c.The agreed price for or the proceeds from the sale of material, supplies or other items acquired and sold by the contractor, and not recovered by or credited to the Commission.
d.Any costs saved as a result of the termination.

108.11.2 2.2 If the termination is partial, the contractor may file a proposal with the engineer for an equitable

adjustment of the price or prices of the continued portion of the contract. The engineer will make any equitable adjustment agreed upon. Any proposal for an equitable adjustment under this clause shall be requested within 60 days from the effective date of termination unless extended in writing by the engineer.

108.11.2 2.3 The contractor shall maintain and make available all project cost records to the engineer for audit to

the extent necessary to determine the validity and amount for each item requested. This will include, but is not limited to, all items described in Sec 105.16. These records and documents shall be made available to the engineer at the contractor's office at all reasonable times, without any direct charge. If approved by the engineer, photographs, microphotographs or other authentic reproductions may be maintained instead of original records and documents.

108.11.3 Effect of Termination. Termination of the contract or portion thereof will not relieve the contractor of

contractual responsibilities for the work completed, nor will termination relieve the surety of the surety’s obligation for and concerning that part of the contract not terminated or any just claim arising out of the work performed.

108.12 Notice to Contractor and Surety. Notice to the contractor, in case of default or termination of the

contract, shall be deemed to be served when delivered to the person in charge of any office used by the contractor, the contractor's representative at or near the work or by certified mail addressed to the contractor's last known place of business. Notice to the surety shall be deemed served when mailed to the surety's address as shown in the contract by certified mail.

108.13 Termination of Contract for Misconduct. For the purposes of the following provision, "state" will

include the State of Missouri and any other state, commonwealth or territory of the United States. The Commission may declare the contract to be terminated at any time after the contract is awarded and prior to final acceptance of the project, for any one or more of the acts set forth below, if the act occurred after the bid opening or within two years immediately preceding the date of the bid opening, unless the act is a basis for an adverse action under 49 CFR, Part 29 in which case the time limit will not apply, on any Commission or other federal, state or local government or privately awarded contract:

a.Receiving or giving any currency or item of value in order to influence the competitive bidding process or the award of a competitively bid contract; bid-rigging, collusion or any similar act or communication with any person or firm in restraint of competitive bidding on a contract; or to obtain or grant an advantage in obtaining the award of such a contract.
b.Fraud, dishonesty or a material misrepresentation or omission of fact in any request for proposal or bid submitted to a private firm or governmental agency, or in any contract documents submitted to such a firm or agency.
c.Making or receiving kickbacks or payments of currency or any item of value in order to obtain or retain any contract or payment thereunder, or in return for an agreement to make or for the making of any false statements or material misrepresentations or omissions of fact to any federal, state or local governmental agency or private firm relevant to contract compliance.
d.Suspension, debarment or other disqualification of the contractor, or determination that the contractor is not a responsible bidder for public contracting purposes, by any federal, state or local governmental agency, regardless of whether the sanction is still in effect at the time of the bid or contract award by the Commission.
e.Conviction or adjudication of guilt in any criminal proceeding in a federal or state court, regardless of whether sentence was suspended or executed, for any act an element of which is fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, which conduct is relevant to a determination of the responsibility of the contractor. 83(f) Commission of any act or failure to act, such that the contractor is subject to the determination that the contractor is not a responsible bidder under the contract or under applicable Missouri or federal law.

108.13.1 The acts, omissions and liabilities of persons or firms affiliated with the contractor or of persons that

are principals of the contractor, are those of the contractor, unless the circumstances clearly negate that conclusion. Persons or firms are "affiliates" of each other if, directly or indirectly, either one controls or has the power to control the other or a third person controls or has the power to control both. Examples of control include, but are not limited to: interlocking management or ownership, identity of interests among family members, shared facilities and equipment, common use of employees on projects or a new business entity organized following the determination of ineligibility or non-responsibility of a person or firm which has the same or similar management, ownership or principal employees as the ineligible person. A "principal" will be defined as an officer, director, owner, partner or other natural person within a firm with primary management, supervisory or contracting responsibilities.

108.13.2 The Commission will not declare the contract terminated pursuant to this section if the contractor made

a full and complete disclosure of the acts and circumstances described in Sec 108.13 to the Commission in the bid or in writings submitted with the bid and the Commission did not determine the contractor to be non- responsible prior to making the award of the contract. The Commission will not be precluded from terminating the contract under this section if the information provided by the contractor did not constitute a full and complete disclosure of all facts and circumstances pertinent to the issue of the responsibility and integrity of the contractor.

108.13.3 The procedures for notice of the proposed termination of the contract and the contractor’s right to be

heard regarding that proposed action will be those in accordance with a proposed disqualification or suspension under the provisions of 7 CSR 10-18. After notice and an opportunity to be heard, upon a finding of the existence of a basis to terminate a contract under this section, the Commission may terminate the contract immediately or at the occurrence of some specific date or event in the future, prior to project completion, upon delivery of a written notice to the contractor by actual service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the address of record of the contractor. Effective with the contract termination date, the contractor shall discontinue further work on the project and shall instruct subcontractors and suppliers to do the same, other than to remove promptly the contractor’s personnel, equipment and supplies from the project site. The contractor will be paid for all completed work to that date at the contract price. At the option of the engineer, the Commission may assume the possession and cost of any specially fabricated material or supplies for the project that have been ordered prior to notice of termination, but have not been installed on the date of termination. The contractor and surety will be liable to the Commission for all costs and expenses incurred by the Commission in completing the project, including, but not limited to, the Commission's costs to redraft and rebid the project, which costs and expenses exceed the total of the contractor's bid price plus additional expenses allowed by the engineer during the contractor's work on the project, less the amount paid to the contractor by the Commission. The Commission will not be liable for damages for breach of contract or in any other action or respect for declaring a default if one exists under this section and for terminating the contract prior to completion by the contractor.

108.13.4 The satisfactory performance of a contract, prior to the notice to the contractor of the intent to

terminate the contract for misconduct, will not be a basis to determine whether the contract may be terminated for misconduct under this section.

108.13.5 The contractor shall file any claim the contractor has against the Commission within 60 days after the

effective date of termination, pursuant to the procedures of Sec 105. The Commission will file any claim the Commission has against the contractor or surety within 60 days of the date of final acceptance of the project, whether or not it is renumbered or redesigned, and whether completed by the surety, by a successor contractor retained by the Commission, or by the Commission itself. Any Commission claim will be filed pursuant to the procedures of Sec 105.

108.14 Determination of Compensation and Contract Time Extension for Excusable, Noncompensable

and Compensable Delays. An extension of the contract time may be granted under the following conditions provided documentation has been given to the engineer in accordance with Secs 108.14.3 through 108.14.5. Strict adherence to the provisions of this section will be a condition precedent to the contractor's entitlement to an extension of contract time or compensation because of project delays. 84108.14.1 Excusable or Noncompensable Delay. Contract time allowed for the performance of the work may be extended for delays caused by acts of God, acts of the public enemy, fires, floods, earthquakes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, unusually severe weather or other delays not caused by the contractor's fault or negligence.

108.14.2 Compensable Delay. Contract time allowed for performance of the work may be extended for delays

caused by the Commission. The contractor may be granted an extension of time and additional compensation only as provided by Sec 109.

108.14.3 Notification of Delay. Within seven days of the occurrence of a delay to the prosecution of any phase

of the work, the contractor shall notify the engineer in writing of such a delay and indicate that a request for delay consideration will be filed. Delay costs incurred prior to notifying the engineer that operations have been delayed will be noncompensable.

108.14.4 Procedures Following a Delay. The contractor shall keep daily records of all non-salaried labor,

material costs and equipment expenses for all operations affected by the delay.

108.14.4 1 The contractor shall maintain a daily record of each operation affected by the delay and the station

location of the operations affected. Daily records of the operations and stations will also be maintained by the engineer. Each Monday, the contractor shall compare the previous week's daily records with the records kept by the engineer. The contractor shall also prepare and submit written reports to the engineer each Monday containing the following information:

a.Number of days behind schedule due to the delay.
b.A summary of all operations that have been delayed or will be delayed.
c.In the case of a claimed compensable delay, the contractor shall explain how the Commission's act or omission delayed each operation and estimate the amount of time required to complete the project.
d.An itemized list of all extra costs incurred, including:
1.How the extra costs relate to the delay and how the costs are being calculated and measured.
2.The identification of all non-salaried project employees for whom costs are being compiled.
3.A summary of time charges for equipment, identified by manufacturer's year and model and the contractor's number, for which costs are being compiled.

108.14.4 2 The contractor shall provide written notice to the engineer within seven days of the results of the

comparison of the detailed reports performed each Monday and shall define any disagreements between specific records.

108.14.4 3 Failure to meet to review the engineer's records or to report disagreements between the records will

be considered conclusive evidence that the engineer's records are accurate.

108.14.5 Procedures Following Completion of Work Allegedly Delayed. Within the earlier of 15 days of

completion of any phase of work allegedly delayed, or of project completion, the contractor shall submit a report to the engineer containing the following information:

a.A description of the operations that were delayed and the documentation and explanation of the reason for the delay, including all reports prepared by or for the contractor.
b.An as-built chart or other graphic depiction of how the operations were delayed based on the contractor's most recent progress schedule prior to the delay event. 85(c) An item by item measurement and explanation of extra costs requested for reimbursement due to the delay.

108.14.5 1 All costs shown in the report submitted to the engineer must be directly caused by the delay event

and shall reflect the actual costs incurred as shown on the contractor's project cost records kept in the ordinary course of business.

108.14.5 2 The engineer will review the contractor's submission and any reports prepared for the engineer. A

written decision will be provided to the contractor within 60 days of the receipt of the complete contractor's submission. This time may be extended if the engineer requires additional information. The contractor shall state affirmatively in writing when the contractor has made a complete submission of information regarding a delay event.

108.14.5 3 In the case of compensable delays, if the engineer determines that the Commission is responsible for

delays to the contractor's operations, the engineer's written decision will reflect the nature and extent of any resulting equitable adjustment to the contract in accordance with Sec 109.

108.15 Suspension of Work Directed by the Engineer.

108.15.1 If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer for an

unreasonable period of time not originally anticipated, customary or inherent to the construction industry, and the contractor believes that additional compensation or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within seven days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such an adjustment. The procedures of Secs 108.14.4 and 108.14.5 will apply to requests for additional compensation or time claimed by the contractor as a result of a suspension of work directed by the engineer under this section.

108.15.2 Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost or

time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such a suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, suppliers or subcontractors, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment, excluding profit, and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

108.15.3 No contract adjustment will be made unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment

within the time prescribed.

108.15.4 No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have

been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or an adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or condition of the contract. 86 SECTION 109 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 109.1 Measurement of Quantities. All work completed under the contract will be measured by the engineer according to United States standard measure or will be paid for on a contract quantity basis as set out elsewhere in these specifications. The method of measurement and basis of payment will be made to the nearest whole number unless specified otherwise. When the contract quantity of any item is found to include appreciable errors, or when an authorized revision of the plans is made, the quantity will be corrected before making final payment. The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice. 109.2 Scope of Payment. 109.2.1 Compensation. The contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for in the contract as full payment for performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage or expense arising from the work or the prosecution thereof subject to Sec 109.8. 109.2.2 Completed Improvements. The payment of any current or final estimate, or the acceptance of any portion of the work as provided in the specifications, will not affect the obligation of the contractor to submit for final acceptance a completed improvement in accordance with the contract. 109.3 Compensation for Altered Quantities. When the accepted quantities of work vary from the quantities in the contract, the contractor shall accept payment at the original contract unit prices for the accepted quantities of work done. No allowance will be made for any increased cost, except as provided in Sec 104 and Sec 108. 109.4 Differing Site Conditions and Changes in the Work. Contract adjustments to compensate for changes in the work or extra work caused by differing site conditions or changes in the work performed in accordance with Sec 104 will be determined by use of one of the following methods, in order of precedence 109.4.1 Contract Unit Prices. Where contract unit prices exist, the contract unit price will always be applied without deviation, unless the effect of a differing site condition or a significant change in the character of the work requires an equitable adjustment to a contract unit price under the terms of this contract. Equitable adjustments will exclude any anticipated profits. 109.4.2 Unit Prices or Lump Sum Amount Agreed Upon in the Change Order Authorizing the Work. Where contract unit prices do not exist for the work to be done, the parties may agree to such unit prices or a lump sum price for that work. Where an equitable adjustment to a unit price is required, the parties may agree to the adjustment to be made to the contract unit price, excluding any anticipated profits. Prior to agreeing upon such unit or lump sum prices, the engineer may require from the contractor any information to which the engineer is authorized under Sec 104. 109.4.3 Equitable Adjustment. In all other cases, except work ordered to be performed under force account, the engineer will make an equitable adjustment to or determination of the affected contract prices for the work, based on the contractor's actual costs to perform the work. This determination will be consistent with the contractor's other proven costs to perform the contract work, as shown in the contractor's bid computations and project cost records, produced and kept in the ordinary course of business. Prior to making an equitable adjustment, the engineer may require from the contractor any information relevant to that determination, including the information authorized under Sec 104. The condition precedent to determination of contractor entitlement and amount of any contract adjustment and Commission liability will be that the adjustment:

a.Is supported by demonstrated actual excess costs incurred, including by an audit of the actual costs, unless expressly waived by FHWA on federal aid projects.;
b.Has a basis in the terms of the contract;
c.Has a basis in terms of applicable Missouri law and;
d.Is in accordance with prevailing principles of public contract law. 87109.4.4 Application of Force Account. Force account, as computed under Sec 109.5, will apply to determine the amount of compensation for a contract adjustment under Sec 109.4 only when expressly directed to be used in writing by the engineer and in no other instance whatsoever for any determination of contract adjustments for any work performed on the project, whether claimed under the contract, for breach of the contract, arising from a claimed representation by which the contract was induced or any other basis. 109.5 Force Account Computation. 109.5.1 Labor. For all lead workers and laborers, the contractor will receive the rate of wage paid for each hour that said lead workers and laborers are engaged in the force account work. 109.5.1.1 The contractor will receive the actual costs paid to, or on behalf of, employees for subsistence and travel allowances, health and welfare benefits, pension fund benefits or other benefits, if such amounts are required by the collective bargaining agreement or employment contract applicable to the classes of labor employed on the work. 109.5.1.2 An amount equal to 20 percent (5 percent profit and 15 percent overhead) of the sum of the above items will also be paid the contractor. 109.5.2 Insurance and Taxes. For property damage, liability and worker's compensation insurance premiums, unemployment insurance contributions and social security taxes on the force account work, the contractor will receive the actual cost paid, to which 20 percent (5 percent profit and 15 percent overhead) will be added. 109.5.3 Material. For material accepted by the engineer and used, the contractor will receive the actual cost of such material delivered on the work, including transportation charges paid (exclusive of equipment rentals as hereinafter set forth), to which cost 20 percent (5 percent profit and 15 percent overhead) will be added. For all material used in connection with, but not entering permanently into the work, reasonable depreciation will be allowed. 109.5.4 Equipment. The Contractor will be reimbursed for its costs for providing equipment at the rates listed in “Cost Recovery” as posted by EquipmentWatch™, hereafter referred to as the Rental Rate Blue Book, for contractor-owned equipment necessary to accomplish the force account work, including all fuel and lubricants, tires and repairs. The contractor will be allowed an hourly rate equal to the monthly rental rate divided by 176 hours as set out in the Rental Rate Blue Book http://equipmentwatch.com/blue-book-cost-recovery/ at the time the force account is ordered. The allowed rates will be the rate adjustment factor multiplied by the bare hourly rates multiplied by the regional adjustment factor, plus the estimated operating cost per hour. The allowed time will be the actual operating time on the work. For the time required to move the equipment to and from the site of the work and any authorized standby time, the rate will be the rate will be 50 percent of the hourly rate after the actual operating costs have been deducted. All allowed time shall fall within the authorized working hours for such extra work. No payment will be allowed for time elapsed while equipment is broken down or being replaced. The hourly rental rates will apply only to equipment that is already on the job. If the actual unit of equipment to be used is not listed in the schedule, the rate listed for similar equipment with the approximate same initial cost shall be used. Equipment to be used and all prices shall be agreed upon in writing before such equipment is used. An amount equal to 20 percent (5 percent profit and 15 percent overhead) of the sum of these items will also be paid to the contractor. Whenever it is necessary for the contractor to rent equipment, the rental and transportation costs of the equipment plus five percent for overhead will be paid. In no case shall the rental rates exceed those of established distributors or equipment rental agencies. All prices shall be agreed upon in writing before such equipment is used. 109.5.5 Miscellaneous. No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, the use of small tools or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided. Jobsite and home office overhead expenses shall be considered fully compensated by the payments provided in Sec 109.5. 109.5.6 Subcontracted Work. For administration and all overhead costs in connection with approved subcontract work, the Prime contractor will receive an amount equal to five percent of the actual cost of the subcontracted work. The engineer has the authority to require alterations in the equipment and labor force assigned to force account work, to limit authorization of overtime work to that normally used on a project for work of similar nature or to require overtime work when an emergency exists, and to require the cessation of force account work when adverse conditions seriously limit productivity. 88109.5.7 Statements. No payment will be made for work performed on a force account basis until the contractor has furnished the engineer with duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such force account work detailed as follows:
a.Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and extension for each laborer and foreman.
b.Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate and extension for each unit of machinery and equipment.

Each day the contractor's representative and the engineer shall compare records of the cost of work done as ordered on a force account basis. Two copies of these records will be made by the engineer on forms provided by the Commission, and the copies shall be signed at the end of each day by both the engineer and the contractor, one copy to be retained by the engineer, and one copy to be retained by the contractor. The total payment made, as provided in Sec 109.5, shall constitute full compensation for such work. 109.6 Method of Payment. Payment to the contractor for furnishing all material and performing all work under the contract will be deposited electronically in an account number and financial institution designated by the contractor on form MO 300-1278. 109.7 Partial Payments. 109.7.1 Payment Estimates. The engineer will make semi-monthly payment estimates in writing for the material in place and the work performed during the semi-monthly interval and the value thereof at the contract unit bid prices. For partially complete items, the proper percentage with relation to completion will be allowed. 109.7.2 Material Allowance. The engineer may, in any payment estimate, include the value of any non- perishable material that will be finally incorporated in the completed work. The material shall be in conformity with the plans and specifications in the contract, and shall not have been used at the time of such estimate. The value of such material in a single submission from one supplier shall be no less than $10,000.00. The material shall be delivered to the project or other location that is approved by the engineer. Any storage area not within the right of way shall be leased at the contractor's expense with provisions for right of entry by the engineer during the period of storage. Invoices for material payment shall be submitted to the engineer at least four days prior to the estimate date. Receipted invoices for all material payments previously allowed on the estimate shall be submitted to the engineer within 42 days of the date of the estimate on which material allowance was made or such material allowance will be deducted from future payments. The amounts paid for such material shall reduce the amount of other partial or final payments due the contractor for the work performed as the materials are fabricated or incorporated in the completed work. 109.7.2.1 No partial payment will be made for living or perishable plant material until planted. 109.7.2.2 The engineer may also, on contracts containing 100 tons or more of structural steel, include in the estimate prepared for partial payment, the value of structural carbon steel or structural low alloy steel, or both, which is to form a part of the completed work and which has been produced and delivered by the steel mill to the fabricator. 89109.7.2.2.1 The required receipted mill invoice, billing, title or assignment documents or other documents furnished by the contractor shall include certified mill test reports as described in Sec 1080, containing complete material description, identification, weights, dimensions, heat and unit numbers, and cost data. 109.7.2.2.2 The structural steel shall be stored separately and used only for the fabricated structural steel in the contract. 109.7.2.2.3 The weight of the structural steel considered for partial payment shall not exceed the contract quantity. 109.7.2.3 The engineer may also include in any payment estimate an amount not to exceed 90 percent of the invoice value of any inspected and accepted fabricated structural steel items, fabricated structural aluminum sign trusses, structural precast items and permanent highway signs providing the total invoice value of these items is no less than $25,000 for each storage location for each project. 109.7.2.4 All material furnished for the work as noted in these specifications will be subject to shop inspection by the engineer. 109.8 Final Acceptance and Payment. When the project has been accepted as provided in Sec 105, the engineer will prepare the final tabulation of the quantities of work performed. All prior partial estimates and payments will be subject to correction in the final tabulation and payment. The contractor will be paid the entire sum found to be due after deducting all previous payments and all amounts to be retained or deducted under the provisions of the contract. The contractor shall submit the following for file with the Commission:
a.An affidavit, on the form prescribed by the Commission, to the effect that all payments have been made and all claims have been released for all material, labor and other items covered by the contract bond.
b.The written consent of the surety to such payment is required if retainage was held.
c.Any other documents that may be required by the contract. 109.8.1 Final Payment and Claims. If said affidavit regarding subcontractor and third party debts and claims cannot be given because of a dispute as to the amount or legality of a claim, the engineer, with the consent of the surety, may consent to and make payment of all of the final amounts due the contractor if:
a.The engineer is of the opinion that the claim has not been paid solely because the contractor is, in good faith, questioning the legality of said claim or its amount.
b.The engineer is further satisfied that there is good and sufficient bond to fully protect said claimant.
c.The contractor's affidavit clearly sets out the facts as to the name and address of the unpaid claimant or claimants, the amount of the disputed claim, and a brief statement of the cause of the dispute. 109.8.2 Corrections. Final acceptance will not prevent the Commission from correcting any measurement, estimate or certificate made before or after completion of the contract. The Commission will not be prevented from recovering, from the contractor or surety, or both, overpayments made or costs sustained by the Commission for failure of the contractor to fulfill the obligations under the contract. A waiver on the part of the Commission of any breach of any part of the contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 109.8.3 Defects. The contractor and surety shall be liable to the Commission for latent defects, fraud or such gross mistakes as may amount to fraud, or as regards the Commission's rights under any warranty or guaranty without prejudice to the terms of the contract. 109.9 Retained Percentage. 109.9.1 Withholding of Retained Percentage. 90109.9.1.1 Retainage may be initiated during contract performance if the engineer determines that certain events have occurred, including:
a.Events where federal or state law applicable to the contract require payments be withheld to enforce a contract obligation.
b.Events where the contract otherwise specifically provides for withholding payments to secure performance.
c.The occurrence of a cause for withholding payment specified in the Missouri Prompt Pay Act, 34.057 RSMo. Retainage withheld under these circumstances will be as allowed by that statute.
d.When projects are being charged liquidated damages or when it is determined by the engineer that assessment of liquidated damages is probable and imminent. 109.9.1.2 If retainage is initiated during contract performance, then the greater of the amount allowed under 34.057 RSMo or five percent will be deducted from the total amount of remaining work items of each estimate. The retained percentage will be released as provided in these specifications. The net amount due on the estimate will be certified to the Commission for payment. This method of retained percentage will not apply to Sec 808.6. 109.9.2 Release of Retained Percentage. As soon as practical after final acceptance of the work, and after final quantities have been computed or computations have reached a point where final quantities may be closely estimated, the retained percentage will be paid to the contractor. A portion of any retained percentage may be released after the project is open to all through traffic, or the work has been essentially completed. Prior to release of any retained percentage the contractor shall file with the Commission:
a.An affidavit, on the form prescribed by the Commission, to the effect that all payments have been made and all claims have been released for all material, labor and other items covered by the contract bond.
b.The written consent of the surety to such payment.
c.Any other documents which may be required by the contract. 109.9.3 Release with Pending Claims. If said affidavit cannot be given because of a dispute as to the amount or legality of a claim, the engineer, with the consent of the surety, may consent to and make payment of all of final amounts and percentage due the contractor if:
a.The engineer is of the opinion that the claim has not been paid solely because the contractor is, in good faith, questioning the legality of said claim or its amount.
b.The engineer is further satisfied that there is good and sufficient bond to fully protect said claimant.
c.The contractor's affidavit clearly sets out the facts as to the name and address of the unpaid claimant or claimants, the amount of the disputed claim, and a brief statement of the cause of the dispute.

109.10 Assignments. Neither the contract, nor any duties or obligations or rights of the contractor or the

contractor’s surety arising under, from or relating to the contract, or to be performed as required by the contract, and whether present or prospective, including, without limitation, money due at any time or any claim of any character arising from or relating to performance or nonperformance of the contract, whether for breach or otherwise, shall be assigned or transferred to any other person so as to bind or affect the Commission absent the express written consent of the surety and the Commission and upon a written request and compliance with such requirements as the engineer or Commission may provide.

109.11 Compensation for Project Delays. This provision will apply to and will control all contract

adjustments, change orders and claims for additional compensation that are time related, resulting from compensable project delays, inefficiency, standby, extended performance or described in any other term. 91109.11.1 Only the actual and documented additional costs associated with the following items will be recoverable by the contractor as an equitable adjustment for delay.

a.Non-salaried labor expenses.
b.Material costs.
c.Equipment costs.
d.Costs of extended job-site overhead.
e.An additional ten percent of the total of items (a), (b), (c) and (d) for home office overhead and every other cost for which no specific allowance is provided.

109.11.2 All costs claimed shall be adequately documented when measuring additional equipment expenses (i.e.

ownership expenses) arising as a direct result of a delay caused by MoDOT. Actual records kept in the usual course of business, measuring actual increased ownership expenses pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, may be required at the discretion of the engineer for determining equipment costs. For delays that the engineer determines to be short-term, or when the engineer determines this method acceptable, equipment costs shall be calculated using the provisions for authorized standby time in Sec 109.5.4, except that no increase for overhead or profit will be allowed in excess of what is established in Sec 109.11.1.

109.11.3 The parties agree that, in any adjustment for delay costs, MoDOT will have no liability for the

following items of damages or expense.

a.Profit in excess of that provided herein.
b.Loss of profit.

g.Substantial evidence of the subcontractor or supplier's failure to make timely payments for labor, equipment or materials; damage to the contractor or another subcontractor or material supplier, but not such damage as is covered by a subcontractor or supplier's insurance required by Sec 107.13.9.1.
h.Substantial evidence that the subcontractor or supplier's work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the subcontract or purchase order sum, or a reasonable amount for retention.

109.14 Price Adjustment for Fuel. If the contractor accepts the option for fuel adjustment in the bid proposal,

the method of price adjustment for the fuel used on the items of work specified herein will be based on "Fuel Usage Factors" The following table specifies the fuel usage factors for Production and On-Road Hauling. The On-Road Hauling Factor is based on an average 30-mile round trip and will be used regardless of the actual haul distance. Price adjustment for fuel does not apply to fixed-cost items listed in Job Order Contracts. Price adjustment for fuel shall only apply to items that are defined in the table below and listed in the Listing of Bid Items for Highway Construction at the time of bid. Non-standard bid items shall not be subject to price adjustment for fuel unless specified elsewhere in the contract.

Does not include any base produced within project limits or adjacent to the project. Includes base shown in pay limits for optional shoulder designs (e.g. A3 shoulder), but not the portion identified as incidental base.

109.14.1 The first day of each month (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) in which the project is bid

will be used to establish the "Starting Fuel Index" for the duration of the project. The "Starting Fuel Index" will be the average of the values given for No. 2 fuel as reported by Platt's Oilgram - PAD 2 - St. Louis Area.

109.14.2 The pay items and unit prices in the contract will not change. The Commission will, on the first day of

each month (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), determine the "Monthly Fuel Index" of No. 2 fuel from the price index as reported by Platt's Oilgram - PAD 2 - St. Louis Area, which will apply to all payment estimates during that month regardless of the type fuel used.

109.14.3 The quantities of completed work for the payment period will be determined by the engineer and

included in the payment estimate. These same quantities will be used to determine the fuel usage for any price adjustment. 94109.14.4 The difference (±) between the "Monthly Fuel Index" and the "Starting Fuel Index" will be the "Monthly Fuel Index Adjustment Factor". This "Monthly Fuel Index Adjustment Factor", along with the "Fuel Usage Factor" and quantities of completed work for which payment is made will determine the fuel adjustment payment or deduction.

109.14.5 If adjustments are made in the contract quantities, the contractor shall accept the fuel adjustment as full

compensation for increases or decreases in the price of fuel regardless of the amounts of overrun or underrun.

109.14.6 The fuel adjustment will be computed each pay period work is performed, for the usage of fuel by the

following procedure: Fuel Adjustment = (Fuel Usage Factor) x (Monthly Fuel Index Adjustment Factor) x (Units of Work included in the payment estimate)

109.14.7 Payments or deductions for the fuel adjustments on the various items of work will be made on the

estimate as one "Fuel Adjustment". No change order will be required.

109.14.8 If the bidder wishes to be bound by these specifications, the bidder shall execute the acceptance form

in the proposal. Failure by the bidder to execute the acceptance form will be interpreted to mean election to not participate in the price adjustment for fuel.

109.15 Price Adjustment for Asphalt Cement.

109.15.1 Asphalt Cement Price Index. Adjustments will be made to the payments due the Contractor for any

plant mix bituminous base, plant mix bituminous pavement, plant mix bituminous surface leveling, asphaltic concrete pavement and ultrathin bonded asphalt wearing surface that contains performance graded (PG) asphalt binder when it has been determined that the Monthly Asphalt Index for the month prior to placement of the asphalt mixture has fluctuated from the Monthly Asphalt Index for the month the project was let. The Monthly Asphalt Index shall be established for each calendar month as the average of the midpoint selling prices of PG64-22 for St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri areas, as published by Poten and Partners Inc. in the Asphalt Weekly Monitor®, on the first Monday preceding the date of the normal monthly MoDOT letting. For months when there is no normal monthly letting, the published price on the third Monday of that month shall be used for the Monthly Asphalt Index. Special lettings shall have no effect on determining the Monthly Asphalt Index. The asphalt base index shall be the Monthly Asphalt Index for the month of the bid opening. For calculation of the price adjustment, any asphalt placed on the first day of a month will generally be considered as placed the previous month to keep price adjustments in sync with MoDOT's normal payment estimate period schedule. The Commission reserves the right to include asphalt placed on the first day of the month with the current month to accomodate financial accounting termini, such as the beginning of the state and federal fiscal years (July 1 and October 1).

109.15.1 1 The price adjustment will be applied to the actual amount of virgin PG asphalt binder used by the

Contractor for all asphalt items specified in Sec 109.15.1. For asphalt mixtures that are paid for by the square yard, the price adjustments will be made for applicable equivalent tons, as calculated by the engineer, based upon the plan square yard quantity and thickness converted to tons, excluding the 1:1 wedge. The price adjustment will be applied to all Job Order Contract projects for all quantities of the wet ton and square yard asphalt mix. The percentage of virgin PG asphalt binder as shown in the job mix formula, in accordance with Sec 401, 402, Sec 403 and Sec 413, will be the basis for price adjustments for any asphalt mix type placed on the project. The effective asphalt binder obtained from the use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and/or Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) will not be eligible for adjustment. The Monthly Asphalt Index for PG64-22 will be applied to the asphalt mix for mixes using any PG asphalt binder.

109.15.1 2 Price Adjustment Calculated. To determine the price adjustment for any asphalt mix specified in

this provision, the following formula will be used. A = (B x C/100) x (D-E) Where: A = Dollar value adjustment for mix placed during the payment estimate period B = Tons of asphalt mixture placed during the payment estimate period C = Percent of virgin PG asphalt binder as listed in the job mix formula in use D = The Monthly Asphalt Index for the month prior to the month the asphalt mix was placed 95 E = The asphalt base index = the Monthly Asphalt Index for the month the project was let

109.15.1 3 The engineer will apply the price adjustments, as determined by the price adjustment calculation

established herein, for each payment estimate period in which asphalt is placed, except for any asphalt placed after the allowable contract time period as defined in Sec 108. For asphalt placed after the contract completion time limit, the "D" value used for the price adjustment calculated shall be either the last "D" value prior to the date that contract time was exceeded, or the current monthly "D" value, whichever is lower.

109.15.1 4 Optional. This provision is optional. If the bidder wishes to be bound by this provision, the bidder

shall execute the acceptance form in the Bid. Failure by the bidder to execute the acceptance form will be interpreted to mean election to not participate in the Asphalt Cement Price Index. If the Asphalt Cement Price Index is accepted, PG asphalt binder for the project will not be eligible for a material allowance as described in Sec 109.

109.15.2 Seal Coat Price Index. Adjustments will be made to the payments due the contractor for Seal Coat

placed in accordance with Sec 409. Adjustments will be calculated in accordance with Sec 109.15.1 Asphalt Cement Price Index, except as defined herein.

109.15.2 1 Basis of Payment. To determine the adjustment for any material specified in this provision the

following formula will be used. A = B X (0.68 X 8.58/2000) X (D – E) Where: A = adjustment for Seal Coat placed during the index period B = gallons of seal coat placed during the index period D = average index price at the beginning of the period E = average index price at the time of bid 0.68 = factor to reduce volume of emulsion to AC only (use average specific gravity of 1.03 for seal coat)

109.15.2 2 Optional. This provision is optional. If the bidder wishes to be bound by this provision, the bidder

shall execute the acceptance form in the Bid for the Seal Coat Price Index. Failure by the bidder to execute the acceptance form will be interpreted to mean election to not participate in the Seal Coat Price Index.

109.15.3 Asphalt Underseal Price Index. Adjustments will be made to the payments due the contractor for

Asphalt Underseal placed in accordance with Sec 625. Adjustments will be calculated in accordance with Sec

109.15 1Asphalt Cement Price Index, except as defined herein.

109.15.3 1 Basis of Payment. To determine the adjustment for any material specified in this provision the

following formula will be used. A = B X (8.66/2000) X (D – E) Where: A = adjustment for asphalt underseal placed during the index period B = gallons of asphalt underseal placed during the index period D = average index price at the beginning of the period E = average index price at the time of bid (use average specific gravity of 1.04 for underseal)

109.15.3 2 Optional. This provision is optional. If the bidder wishes to be bound by this provision, the bidder

shall execute the acceptance form in the Bid for the Asphalt Underseal Price Index. Failure by the bidder to execute the acceptance form will be interpreted to mean election to not participate in the Asphalt Underseal Price Index.

109.15.4 Polymer Modified Emulsion Membrane Price Index. Adjustments will be made to the payments

due the contractor for Polymer Modified Emulsion Membrane placed in accordance with Sec 413.30 (UBAWS), but not when used for other purposes. Adjustments will be calculated in accordance with Sec 109.15.1 Asphalt Cement Price Index, except as defined herein. 96109.15.4.1 Basis of Payment. To determine the adjustment for any material specified in this provision the following formula will be used. A = B X (0.9/2000) x (D – E) Where: A = adjustment for membrane placed during the index period B = square yards of membrane placed during the index period D = average index price at the beginning of the period E = average index price at the time of bid

109.15.4 2 Optional. This provision is optional. If the bidder wishes to be bound by the provision, the bidder

shall execute the acceptance form in the Bid for Polymer Modified Emulsion Membrane (UBAWS). Failure by the bidder to execute the acceptance form will be interpreted to mean election not to participate in the Polymer Modified Emulsion Membrane Price Index (UBAWS).

The contractor will be required to pay either the state or federal prevailing hourly wage rate for any craft or type of worker required to perform the work, except when expressly provided by the contract documents. State wage rates, information on the required federal aid provisions, and the current federal wage rates are available on MoDOT’s web site. Applicable federal wage rates will be posted on MoDOT’s web site ten days before the bid opening. These supplemental bidding documents have important legal consequences. It shall be conclusively presumed that the documents applicable to the contract are in the bidder's possession and have been reviewed and used by the bidder in the preparation of any bid submitted on a project. 110.2 Federal-Aid Projects. If the federal government is participating in the cost of construction of the project, all applicable federal laws, and the regulations made pursuant to such laws, will be applicable to and become part of the contract, shall be observed by the contractor, and the work will be subject to the inspection of the appropriate federal agency in accordance with Sec 105.10. Contracts with federal-aid will require payment of the prevailing hourly wage rate for each craft or type of work required to execute the contract as determined by the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, and will require adherence to a schedule of minimum wages as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. For work performed anywhere on the project, the contractor and the subcontractors shall pay the higher of these two applicable wage rates. 110.3 Prevailing Wages and Records. The prevailing state wage rate, overtime and fringe benefits for the locality of the work as determined by the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, or by a court decision on appeal, will be contained in the contract. The effective date for the current wage rate, overtime and fringe benefits, for bidding purposes, will be in the bid documents by special provision. The contractor and all subcontractors shall pay no less than the prevailing wage rate, overtime and fringe benefits as specified or as same may be changed by a court decision on appeal, for all work performed under the contract. Per 290.250 RSMo., the contractor shall forfeit a penalty up to $100 per day per worker for each worker that is paid less than the prevailing rate for any work done under the contract by the contractor or any subcontractor as determined by the Missouri Department of Labor. 110.3.1 The contractor is advised that the prevailing wage rate, overtime and fringe benefits are subject to change during the life of the contract by court decision. No such change shall be the basis for adjustment in the contract price. 110.3.2 The contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate record showing the names and occupation of all workers employed by the contractor, including the actual wages, overtime and fringe benefits paid to each worker. The record shall be open to inspection at all reasonable hours by the representatives of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations of Missouri or the Commission. The contractor shall submit certified copies of payrolls to the engineer each week. 110.3.3 Subsistence Deductions. The contractor shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws for employee payroll deductions for subsistence and as specified herein:

a.The contractor shall provide to the engineer a copy of the employee-signed agreement for each employee that agrees to a subsistence deduction prior to that employee beginning work on the project. If the employee does not speak English, such agreement shall be written in his/her native language.
b.The contractor shall document each purpose (food, lodging, travel etc.) and amount of all subsistence deductions and provide documentation in support of each deduction to the engineer.
c.The subsistence deductions shall serve the convenience and interest of the employee. No profit or other benefit shall otherwise be obtained, directly or indirectly, by the contractor or subcontractor or any affiliated person in the form of commission, dividend or otherwise. 110.4 Work Performed in Adjoining States. When a project requires work to be performed in both the State of Missouri and a bordering state, the contractor will be required to pay the applicable prevailing hourly rate of wage for the site of the work. The contractor shall determine which rates are applicable, and shall pay the greater of any conflicting wage rates. Additional information on obtaining wage rates and federal wage rates for the bordering state will be contained in the contract. 99SECTION 201 CLEARING AND GRUBBING 201.1 Description. This work shall consist of clearing, grubbing, removing and disposing of items, debris and other objectionable matter from within the limits of right of way and easement areas, except vegetation designated to remain or to be selectively treated. 201.2 Construction Requirements. 201.2.1 General. The engineer will designate all trees, shrubs, plants and other objects that are to remain. All designated items shall be preserved. Any damage to natural terrain, vegetation or objects designated to remain shall be repaired or replaced, as determined by the engineer, at the contractor’s expense. 201.2.2 Clearing and Grubbing. Unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, the entire length of the project shall be cleared and grubbed to the limits and requirements specified. Clearing and grubbing shall include removal of all trees, stumps, roots and any objectionable matter resting on or protruding through the surface of the original ground, except for those items designated to remain. 201.2.2.1 Clearing. The area for clearing shall be within the following limits:
a.Highway construction areas on the right of way or right of way easements, including structures, frontage roads, streets, ramps, approaches, ditches, channels and all other access roads, connections and incidental items that are to be constructed. These areas shall extend 10 feet outside of construction lines, or to the right of way limits if less than 10 feet.
b.Material sites within the right of way or right of way easements.
c.Areas enclosed by interchange loops and ramps.
d.Site distance areas for intersecting routes. 201.2.2.2 Limits of Grubbing. Within the limits of the cut areas, grubbing shall be performed to a minimum depth of 18 inches below the finished earth grade of roadways, ditches, channels, borrows and structures. The areas below the natural ground surface shall be grubbed to a depth necessary to remove all stumps, roots, buried logs and other objectionable material. In embankment areas, undisturbed stumps and roots extending no more than 6 inches above the ground line may remain, provided the stumps and roots are a minimum of 4 feet below the finished earth grade. Except in areas to be excavated, holes created by removals shall be backfilled with suitable material and compacted to the approximate density of the adjacent area. 201.2.2.3 Selective Clearing and Grubbing. All areas outside the limits designated for clearing and grubbing, but on the right of way, shall be free of unsightly vegetation, debris and other objectionable matter. In lieu of grubbing, undisturbed stumps outside the slope stake limits and in mowable areas may be cut to a maximum height of 3 inches above the ground. Low hanging, unsound or unsightly branches on trees or shrubs designated to remain shall be removed as directed by the engineer. 201.2.3 Scalping. The contractor shall scalp all areas where excavation or embankment is to be performed, except mowed or burned over sod may remain where the embankment to be constructed is at least 4 feet above natural ground. Scalping shall include the removal of surface material such as sod, grass, residue of agricultural crops, sawdust and any other vegetative matter without removing more earth than is necessary. 201.2.4 National Forest Land. Before beginning work on a highway to be constructed over national forest land, the contractor shall obtain information from the forest ranger in charge to determine rules and regulations covering construction procedures and shall follow those requirements. Before any fires are set, the contractor shall notify the forest ranger in charge, and shall secure a burning permit. 201.2.5 Removal and Disposal of Material. The contractor shall dispose of all trees, stumps, brush, roots and all other objectionable matter removed in the clearing and grubbing process. 201.2.5.1 Open Burning. The contractor is encouraged to harvest marketable timber, utilize mulched timber for erosion control and utilize excess mulch for composting. Open burning of trees and other brushy material is 100allowed unless prohibited elsewhere in the contract or disallowed by federal, state or local laws or ordinances. Any required permits, licenses, fees or other compliance requirements of open burning shall be the responsibility of the contractor in accordance with Sec 107. A contractor representative shall be present during all burning. Measures shall be taken to ensure that structures or vegetation on adjacent property, or items designated to remain on the right of way, shall not be jeopardized. Fires set for the purpose of training fire fighters and industrial employees in firefighting methods may be permitted after coordination with MDNR or local fire departments and shall be in strict accordance with NFPA standards. 201.2.5.2 Disposal of Wood. Burial of stumps and debris will not be permitted on the right of way. Products of clearing and grubbing may be removed from the right of way and disposed of out of sight from the roadway, provided there is no conflict with governing regulations for the wasted material. A signed, written agreement with the property owner shall be submitted by the contractor to the engineer prior to the disposal of material on that property. 201.2.5.3 Disposal of Scalping. The products of scalping shall be deposited at the toe of embankments where such areas are available within the limits of the roadway balance affected. If such areas are not available, the products shall be neatly and uniformly deposited on the right of way in such a manner that no drainage will be blocked. 201.2.5.4 Disposal of Timber. Except in national forest areas, all timber that has not been removed from the right of way prior to construction and is not designated to remain in place shall become the property of the contractor. 201.3 Method of Measurement. The work provided herein will not be measured for payment, but will be considered a plan quantity. The following exceptions will be made on a measured quantity basis:
a.An authorized change in the line or grade, or appreciable deviations in the original ground elevations in accordance with Sec 203.8.1, significantly alters the original construction limits of the contract.
b.Authorized alterations or corrections to the plans provide additional work outside the original construction limits of the contract and will materially affect the final payment quantity.
c.Appreciable errors within the original limits of construction, if the contractor provides written notification, and measurements of the proposed change to the engineer prior to commencing clearing operations. The engineer will accept or reject the changes by the close of the next business day. 201.3.1 If payment for additional work is required, a combined measurement of clearing and grubbing will be made on an area basis to the nearest 1/10 acre . An acre will consist of 87.12 units, each unit being a rectangular area 50 feet long and 10 feet wide. 201.3.2 The total area of the right of way, except that part secured for channel changes, inlet or outlet easements, and borrow areas will be laid out in units beginning at the centerline of the highway with corners at whole or half stations and extending outward until all of the right of way has been included. The total area of the right of way secured for channel changes, inlet or outlet easements, and borrow areas will be laid out in units in the same manner from longitudinal base lines run or designated for these areas. 201.3.3 Clearing and grubbing will be considered as one item. If additional clearing or grubbing is required, the entire unit will be counted for measurement. Areas of mowing or scalping, removal of small trees or brush 5 feet high or less, and all weeds, cornstalks and similar vegetation regardless of height, and the trimming of branches on trees and shrubs designated to remain, will not be measured and will be considered incidental to other required work. Only stumps 3 inches or more in diameter and 6 inches or more above the ground surface in areas where grubbing is required will be considered in the measurement of clearing and grubbing. 201.3.4 If any clearing or grubbing is performed within any unit, the entire area of that unit, except in the case of overlaps, will be included in the measurement. If individual trees or stumps, cause the overlapping of units as laid out, only one unit of clearing and grubbing, as applicable, will be allowed. If a fractional unit occurs as a result of measurement or of overlap, the fractional unit will be counted as one unit. If the boundary line of any unit intersects a single tree or stump, counting of another applicable unit will not be made if there is any clearing and grubbing to be paid for in the adjacent unit. 101201.4 Basis of Payment. 201.4.1 Clearing and grubbing will be paid for at the contract unit price based on plan quantity. 201.4.2 If a bid item for clearing and grubbing is not included in the contract, any necessary clearing and grubbing, including scalping, selective clearing and the removal and disposal of all the resulting material required within the contract items specified, will be considered incidental to the contract and additional compensation will not be made. 201.4.3 If additional clearing and grubbing in accordance with Sec 201.3 is required outside the initial contract work, payment for that clearing and grubbing will be made per acre at the contract unit price, or if separate payment for clearing and grubbing is not included in the contract, payment will be made in accordance with Sec 109. 102SECTION 202 REMOVAL OF ROADWAYS AND BUILDINGS 202.1 Description. This work shall consist of the removal and disposal of all existing improvements from the right of way and within the limits of any construction area outside the right of way, except improvements designated or permitted to remain in place or to be removed under other items of work. These specifications will apply to all removal work performed by the contractor. 202.2 General Requirements. 202.2.1 Disposal of Material. All improvements not designated to remain shall be removed or disposed of by the contractor as required.

Excavating and undergrading in rock, that is material in accordance with the description of Class C, whether the contract calls for classified or unclassified excavation, shall be performed in a manner to produce material of such size as to permit placement in embankments in accordance with the requirements. Rock shall be removed to the limits of undergrading insofar as practical and in such manner as to leave no undrained depressions in the cut. Care shall be taken to avoid overshooting when blasting. Any loose or shattered rock, overhanging ledges and boulders above the roadbed that might dislodge shall be removed. If the contract provides a specific use for rock from roadway excavation, the work shall be performed in such order and manner as may be necessary to ensure that the desired quantity of such material may be placed as required. 203.4.4.1 Blasting Requirements. Reporting for all blasting shall be made in accordance with Sec 107.7. 203.4.4.1.1 The contractor shall submit a rock excavation blasting plan to the engineer at least 14 days before drilling operations begin. The blasting plan shall address all trenching, presplitting and production shots, and shall include, but is not limited to the following information: powder factor per cubic yard , hole size, subdrill, stemming depth, drill pattern, type of explosives and detonators, and safety precautions. A preblast survey will be required on all uncontrolled structures within 500 feet of planned blasting operations. A separate blasting plan will be required on all locations requiring blasting within 50 feet of any roadway structure. Any changes to blasting plans shall be provided to the engineer for review prior to performing the work. 203.4.4.1.2 The contractor shall not exceed blasting holes larger than 4 inches in diameter. The powder factor shall be between 0.60 to 1.35 pounds per cubic yard except for presplitting or trenching. If stemming ejection becomes a problem, crushed stone stemmings shall be used. Subdrill shall be no more than 30 percent of burden. The contractor shall not drill within a radius equal to the depth of the cut of a loaded borehole. Seismic monitoring will be required when the scaled distance is less than 65 , where the scaled distance equals the distance, in feet , divided by the square root of explosive weight, in pounds, per 8-millisecond delay. 203.4.4.1.3 The contractor shall perform the excavation of rock cuts by the technique of presplitting, cushion blasting or air decking to produce a neat line of the proposed excavation, with the results subject to the approval of the engineer. Holes for presplitting shall be drilled to the full depth of the cut or to a pre-selected bench elevation as shown on the plans or as determined by the engineer. Presplitting shall be done according to accepted practice to produce a clean face on the excavated cut. Presplit shots shall be made prior to production shots. Production holes shall not be drilled any closer to the presplit line than 12 times the diameter of the production blast hole. 203.4.4.2 Undergrading. Regardless of whether the contract includes paving, the final surface for the backfilled undergraded areas shall be of a uniform texture and grade suitable to the engineer for paving. 203.4.4.2.1 Unless specified otherwise, the final surface shall be substantially free of exposed rock exceeding the 2 inch size that would interfere with the final preparation of the base for paving.

a.Material in accordance with Sec 1007.
b.A granular-type material with a plasticity index not exceeding 10, and a gradation such that at least 50 percent of the material will be retained on the No. 4 sieve. 203.4.5 Unsuitable Material. Where excavation to the finished graded section results in a subgrade or slopes of unsuitable material, the engineer may require the contractor to remove the unsuitable material, and backfill to the finished graded section with approved material. The contractor shall conduct the operations in such a manner that the engineer may make the necessary measurements before the backfill is placed. 203.4.6 Borrow. Borrow material shall not be placed until after material from roadway excavation has been placed in the embankment, except as otherwise approved by the engineer. The contractor shall not excavate beyond the dimensions and elevations established, and no material shall be removed prior to staking and cross sectioning the site. If the contractor places more borrow than required, thereby causing a waste of excavation, such waste will be deducted from the borrow volume as measured in the borrow area. All borrow areas shall be bladed and left in such a shape as to permit taking the necessary cross sections after excavating has been completed. The finished borrow areas shall be approximately true to line and grade if so specified in the contract, and shall be finished, where practical, such that no water will collect or stand therein. If it is necessary to remove fencing in order to obtain borrow material, the fencing shall be replaced in as good condition as the fencing was at the time of removal. The contractor shall be responsible for confining livestock when a portion of the fence is removed. Removing and replacing such a fence or the confining of livestock shall be at the contractor’s expense. 203.4.7 Roadway Obliteration. If obliteration of existing roadways or temporary construction is designated in the contract to be performed on a roadway excavation basis, such obliteration shall include all operations necessary to fill the ditches and blend the old road with the natural ground to provide a pleasing appearance. Removal of concrete pavement and concrete base course will be paid for in accordance with Sec 202.30. The earthwork for obliteration, including bituminous surfacing, will be included as roadway excavation. 203.4.8 Human, Criminal, Historical, Archaeological or Geological Remains. If any human remains, or archaeological artifacts that may be of historical, archaeological or geological significance such as arrowheads, pottery, stone tools, animal bones, or fossils, are encountered during construction, the contractor shall stop all work within a 50-foot buffer around the human remains and/or artifacts, and then shall notify the MoDOT resident engineer or construction inspector. The contractor shall maintain the 50-foot minimum buffer until otherwise directed by the Engineer. 203.4.8.1 In the case of human remains, MoDOT HP staff will notify the local law enforcement and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as per state law. If the contractor is unable to contact appropriate MoDOT staff, the contractor shall initiate this involvement by local law enforcement and the SHPO. In this instance, a description of the contractor’s actions shall be promptly made to MoDOT. 203.4.8.2 In the case of archaeological artifacts, MoDOT HP will contact the appropriate staff at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the SHPO to report the discovery after a preliminary evaluation of the artifacts is made and reasonable efforts to see if the findings represent an archaeological site which can be avoided. If MoDOT determines that the site/artifact is significant and will be adversely affected by the contract work, MoDOT HP will immediately notify the FHWA and SHPO of this finding and provide recommendations to minimize and/or mitigate the adverse effect. 203.4.8.3 If a temporary suspension of work under this section lasts for an unreasonable period of time, as defined in Sec 108.15.1, and the suspension results in an actual increase in the time or cost of performance of the contract, then this condition will be deemed a suspension of the work directed by the engineer under Sec

108.15 and will be handled in accordance with that section.

203.4.9 Excavated Material Stockpile. During the process of excavating cuts, the engineer may order specific excavated material placed in stockpiles in order to have suitable material available to complete the upper portion 1 16of embankments and to backfill portions of undergraded cuts. 203.4.10 Embankment Construction. Embankment construction shall consist of constructing roadway embankments, including preparation of the area upon which the embankment is to be placed, constructing dikes and berms, placing and compacting approved material within roadway areas where unsuitable material has been removed, and placing and compacting embankment material in holes, pits and other depressions within the roadway area. Only approved material free of trees, stumps, rubbish and any other deleterious material shall be used in the construction of embankments and backfills. Rocks, broken concrete or other solid material shall not be placed in embankment areas where piling is to be placed or driven. 203.4.10.1 Embankments requiring surcharges, restricted loading rates, embankment control stakes or pore pressure measurement devices shall be constructed to the design template progressively for the full height. Failure of embankments or embankment foundations, or damage to structures that occurs when the contractor fails to observe restricted loading rates, or fails to construct slopes initially to the design template shall be repaired as directed by the engineer at the contractor's expense. 203.4.10.2 Construction of embankments shall not be started on foundation soil or partially completed embankments having more than 0.2 foot of frozen soil, nor shall embankment be built of frozen material. Frozen soil layers in partially completed embankments shall be at least 18 inches apart. No material shall be placed on frozen soil layers encountered within 12 inches of the top of the proposed grading section. Frozen material on foundation soil or partially completed embankment not meeting the above requirements shall be removed before placing material for the embankment. The removal of frozen material from the foundation of an embankment or from any layer of the embankment and the replacement with satisfactory material shall be at the contractor’s expense. 203.4.11 Embankment on Hillsides or Against Existing Embankment. Where embankment is to be placed on hillsides or where new embankment is to be constructed against existing embankments, existing slopes steeper than six horizontal to one vertical measured at a right angle to the roadway shall be continuously benched in no less than 12-inch rises over those areas as required, as the work is brought up in layers. Benching shall be of sufficient width to permit placing and compacting operations. Each horizontal cut shall begin at the intersection of the ground line and the vertical side of the previous bench. Existing slopes shall also be stepped to prevent any wedging action of the embankment against structures. The material thus cut out or compacted along with the new embankment material will be at the contractor’s expense. 203.4.12 Scalping. Scalping shall be performed in accordance with Sec 201.2.3. Where an embankment less than 4 feet high is to be constructed, all sod and vegetative material shall be removed from the surface upon which the embankment is to be placed, and the cleared surface completely broken up by plowing, scarifying or stepping to a minimum depth of 6 inches . This area shall be compacted in the same manner as that required for the embankment placed on the area. Sod not requiring removal shall be thoroughly disked before construction of embankment. Where an embankment less than 3 feet high is to be constructed over a compacted road surface containing bituminous or granular material, the old road surface shall be scarified to a depth of at least 6 inches . This scarified material shall be recompacted. 203.4.13 Embankment Against Existing Structures. If embankment is deposited on one side only of abutments, wingwalls, piers or culvert headwalls, care shall be taken that the area immediately adjacent to the structure is not compacted to the extent that the compaction will cause overturning of or excessive pressure against the structure. Equipment of such weight as may cause damage to culverts or other structures will not be permitted to work over or immediately adjacent to such structures. The embankment adjacent to the end bent of a bridge shall not be placed higher behind than in front of end bents until the superstructure is in place. If embankment is to be placed on both sides of a concrete wall or box-type structure, operations shall be conducted such that the embankment is kept at approximately the same elevation on each side. 203.4.14 Surcharged Embankments. Surcharged embankments shall be built in accordance with the plans and shall remain in place for such time as in accordance with the contract. The requirements for placing and compacting will be waived on the surcharge material above the specified compacted area. 203.4.15 Excess or Unsuitable Material. All excess or unsuitable excavated material, including rock and boulders that cannot be used in embankments, may be placed on the sideslopes of the nearest embankment in a satisfactory manner or shall be disposed of off the right of way in areas secured by the contractor. The contractor shall be responsible for compliance with all federal, state and local laws in the disposal of excess or unsuitable 1 17material. Rock or boulders greater than 24 inches shall not be used routinely in constructing sideslope embankments. A distinct shoulder line shall be maintained by keeping all such waste material at least 24 inches below the finished shoulder elevation, and specific density control will not be required. 203.4.16 Placement of Embankment. Roadway embankment shall be placed in layers not exceeding 8 inches , an uncompacted measurement, and shall be compacted as specified before the next layer is placed. The layers shall be placed approximately parallel to both the proposed profile grade and to the finished roadbed. Effective spreading equipment shall be used on each lift to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. Continuous leveling and manipulating will be required during compacting operations. Construction equipment shall be routed uniformly over the entire surface of each layer. Occasional rocks and boulders greater than 24 inches shall be dispersed to allow for uniform compaction between them. 203.4.16.1 Occasional stones or rock fragments exceeding the thickness of the 8-inch layer shall be disposed of by being incorporated into the embankment outside the limits of the proposed surfaced traffic lanes. The thickness of the layer in these areas may be increased if necessary to accommodate the stones, but shall not exceed 12 inches, an uncompacted measurement. The stones or rock fragments shall be placed such that there is no nesting. 203.4.16.2 Lifts may be increased to a maximum of 12 inches , an uncompacted measurement, for berms, filling of old channels, waste or similar areas, and any roadway or approach for which a granular-type surface is proposed. These areas shall be compacted by uniformly distributing all equipment movements over the entire area, and specific density control will not be required. Compaction performed in these areas will be at the contractor’s expense. 203.4.17 Rock Embankment. If the excavated material consists predominantly of rock fragments of such a size that the material cannot be placed in layers of the prescribed thickness, such material shall be placed in the embankment in layers having a thickness of the approximate average size of the larger rocks but not exceeding 24 inches . Rocks or boulders too large to permit placing in a 24-inch layer shall be reduced in size as necessary to permit this placement. Rock shall not be dumped in place, but shall be distributed by blading or dozing in a manner to ensure proper placement in final position in the embankment. Construction equipment shall be routed uniformly over the entire surface of each layer. The spalls and smaller stone fragments shall be left on the surface of each layer as formed. 203.4.18 Rigid or Flexible Pavements. If the specified or proposed surfacing consists of a rigid or flexible-type pavement, the top consolidated rock layer for the full width between roadbed slopes shall be finished to the same limits as shown on the plans for undergrading in rock cuts. If rigid pavement is to be constructed without an aggregate base, the material requirements of Sec 203.4.4.2.1 (a) or (b) shall govern the construction of the area between the bottom of the pavement and the top of the top consolidated rock layer. Any embankment necessary outside the limits of the pavement shall be constructed of suitable earth or as otherwise specified in the contract. 203.5 Compaction of Embankment and Treatment of Cut Areas with Moisture and Density Control. AASHTO T 99, Method C, replacing any material retained on a 3/4-inch sieve, as provided therein, or MoDOT Test Method TM 40 will be used as the Standard Compaction Test for determining the moisture density relations of soils. The optimum moisture as determined by the Standard Compaction Test may be used as a guide in determining the proper moisture content at which each soil type should be compacted. Water shall be added or removed as necessary to permit obtaining the required density and moisture control. The field density of the embankment after compaction will be determined in accordance with AASHTO T 191 or T 205, using the total material or T 310, for wet density. The volume of the test hole may be reduced as necessary to accommodate available testing equipment. If nuclear density methods are used, moisture content will be determined in accordance with AASHTO T 239, except that a moisture correction factor will be determined for each soil in accordance with MoDOT Test Method TM 35. The calculated density obtained in a field density test will be compared with the maximum density as directed by the Standard Compaction Test to determine the percent of compaction attained. 203.5.1 Maximum Density Compaction Requirements. If payment of Compacting Embankment or Embankment in Place is specified as a contract pay item, compaction to at least 90 percent of maximum density, as determined by the Standard Compaction Test, will be required in the following areas: 1 18(a) All roadway embankments except as otherwise provided in the following sections: Secs 203.4.14, 203.4.15, 203.4.16.2, 203.5.3, 203.5.4, 203.5.5 and 203.5.7

b.All backfilled undergraded cuts, except as modified by Sec 203.5.3.
c.Certain portions of the roadbed in cuts specified in Sec 203.5.8, except as modified in Sec 203.5.3. 203.5.2 Moisture Control. The moisture content of the soil at the time of compaction shall be as specified herein. 203.5.2.1 When necessary to eliminate a rubbery condition of the embankment, it may be required that some soils have a moisture content below the optimum during compacting work, except that Class A material having a liquid limit of 40 or more, where placed in embankments within 5 feet of the top of the finished subgrade or where encountered in areas of cut compaction, shall be compacted at no less than the optimum moisture content. The liquid limit determination will be in accordance with AASHTO T 89. Some Class A material, including heavy clays and material commonly known as shales and fireclays, shall require breaking down such that the moisture can be uniformly distributed. 203.5.2.2 Loessial soils shall have moisture controlled so as not to exceed optimum plus 3 percentage points when placed in embankments less than 30 feet high. When placed in embankments 30 feet high or more, such soils shall have moisture controlled such that the optimum moisture is not exceeded. If wet foundation conditions contribute to the embankment moisture while compacting, the engineer may waive this specified moisture content for a height not to exceed 3 feet above the embankment foundation. In the event of conflict of provisions of this section with provisions in Sec 203.5.2.1, Sec 203.5.2.1 shall govern. 203.5.3 Top Lift Thicknesses. The upper 18 inches of the earth subgrade extending the full width between roadbed slopes shall be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum density. 203.5.4 Structure Approach. Roadway embankment within 100 feet of each end of a structure on which the top slab or deck is to be used as the riding surface and the spill fill under such a structure shall be compacted to no less than 95 percent of maximum density. 203.5.5 Rocky Fill. Density requirements will not apply to portions of embankments constructed of material so rocky that the embankment cannot be satisfactorily tested in accordance with AASHTO T 191 or T 205. Material of a gradation having more than approximately 20 percent retained on a 3/4-inch sieve will generally be considered too rocky for satisfactory density testing. In lieu thereof, the compactive effort on rocky material shall consist of making four complete passes on each layer with a tamping-type roller or two complete passes on each layer with a vibratory roller. The tamping-type roller shall have tampers or feet protruding no less than 6 inches from the surface of the drum and shall have a minimum load on each tamper of 250 psi of tamping area. The vibratory roller shall have a manufacturer's rating of 16 to 20 tons compacting power. During compaction, each layer shall have the moisture content controlled such that, in the judgment of the engineer, any silt and clay fraction is in a plastic state. Simple diagnostic tests to establish such a plastic state will include ability to indent with a thumb or heel or to roll a short thread of soil between the hands. Material that crumbles under pressure will be considered too dry. 203.5.6 Lift Consistency. Each layer shall be wetted or dried as necessary, and shall be compacted to the required density. Regardless of the type of equipment used, the roadway shall be compacted uniformly and the surface kept reasonably smooth at all times. If large pieces of heavy clay are encountered, the material shall be broken down by suitable manipulation to permit satisfactory embankment construction. If shale is encountered, the shale shall be broken down as much as practical and compacted at or above optimum moisture. 203.5.7 Deep Fills. Compaction to at least 95 percent of maximum density will be required for that portion of any embankment below an elevation 50 feet below the top of the finished subgrade. If, because of embankment foundation conditions, the 95 percent maximum density cannot be obtained after reasonable compactive effort has been expended, the engineer may waive the 95 percent requirement for a height not exceeding 3 feet above the embankment foundation. 203.5.8 Compacting in Cut. Cut compaction shall be performed in all Class A material areas and in all unclassified material areas that meet the requirements of Sec 203.2.2 after removal of the roadway excavation material to the required section. A surface parallel to the pavement slope, 12 inches below the bottom of the 1 19pavement or lowest base course, shall be temporarily exposed for the full width between roadway inslopes. The exposed material shall be manipulated and compacted to no less than the required density to a depth of 6 inches . The material above this compacted plane shall be spread in layers not exceeding 8-inch loose thickness, each layer being wetted or dried as necessary and compacted to the specified density. The entire volume of material so handled and compacted, including the 6-inch layer compacted in place, will be considered as Compacting in Cut. All Class A material having a liquid limit of 40 or more, including the 6-inch layer compacted in place, shall be compacted at no less than the optimum moisture content. 203.5.8.1 Cut compaction shall be performed to an additional depth of 12 inches for 50 feet on each side of the intersection of the natural ground and the top of the subgrade, then uniformly graded for 30 feet to meet the depth requirements of Sec 203.5.8 and, if necessary, Sec 203.5.8.2. 203.5.8.2 The existing ground for the full width between roadway slopes under embankments less than 18 inches high shall be treated in accordance with Sec 203.5.8 to only such depth as to ensure having 18 inches of material of the required density and moisture below the top of the finished subgrade. 203.5.9 Field Laboratory. When authorized by the engineer, the contractor shall provide a Type 2 field laboratory in accordance with Sec 601. 203.6 Compaction of Embankment not Constructed with Density or Moisture and Density Control. If compaction of embankment is a requirement of the contract but has not been specified as a pay item, the compactive effort on each layer shall consist of distributing all equipment movements over the entire embankment area and of at least three complete passes with a tamping-type roller over the entire area to be compacted. The tamping-type roller shall have tampers or feet projecting no less than 6 inches from the surface of the drum and shall have a minimum load on each tamper of 250 psi of tamping area. Compactive efforts shall be continued, if necessary, until the tamping feet penetrate no more than 2 inches into the layer of material being compacted. Continuous leveling and manipulating will be required during compacting operations and the moisture content shall be adjusted as necessary, in the judgment of the engineer, to permit proper consolidation. 203.6.1 Dumping and rolling areas shall be kept separate, and no lift shall be covered by another until compaction complying with these requirements has been attained. Unstable areas in the embankment shall be removed and replaced with suitable material at the contractor's expense. 203.6.2 Each layer of embankment constructed of rock or rocky material shall also be compacted by three complete passes of the tamping-type roller. A vibratory roller may be used if approved by the engineer. 203.7 Compaction of Embankment Without Specified Compaction Results or Specified Compaction Equipment. If compaction of embankment is not designated by the contract, compaction will not be required other than that attained by distributing equipment movements over the entire embankment area. 203.8 Method Of Measurement. 203.8.1 Contract Quantity Payment. The quantities of excavation , compacting embankment, and embankment in place for which payment will be made will be those shown in the contract for the various items, provided the project is constructed essentially to the lines and grades shown on the plans. A partial check of existing ground elevations will be made at the time slope stakes are set, and of the finished work for deviations in the grade, width or slope from the authorized grade or typical section. 203.8.1.1 Final measurement will not be made of Class A Excavation, Unclassified Excavation , Compacting Embankment, and Embankment in Place except when:
a.Appreciable errors are found in the original computations.
b.An original cross section is found to have an average deviation from the true elevation in excess of one foot.
c.An authorized change in grade, slope or typical section is made.
d.Unauthorized deviations decrease the quantities on the plans. 120(e) Class C excavation is encountered, unless the contract calls for unclassified excavation. If this condition is encountered, corrections or revisions will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity.
f.Quantities are determined by measurement as specified in Sec 203.8.2. 203.8.1.2 If the plans have been altered or when disagreement exists between the contractor and the engineer as to the accuracy of the plan quantities of any balance, or the entire project, either party has the right to request a recomputation of contract quantities of excavation within any area by written notice to the other party. The written notice will contain evidence that an error exists in the original groundline elevation or in the original computations that will materially affect the final payment quantity. If such final measurement will be required, measurement will be made from the latest available ground surface and the design section. 203.8.2 Measured Quantities. If payment of excavation is to be made on a measured quantity basis, volumes of authorized excavation will be computed from cross section measurements by the average end area method. When not attributable to carelessness of the contractor, slides in Class A Excavation and in Unclassified Excavation will be included in such measurements. Authorized excavation of rock, shale, muck or other unsuitable material will also be included. 203.8.2.1 Authorized excavation of rock, shale, muck or other unsuitable material below grade shall consist of that excavation necessary to provide the designated depth of undergrading. No measurement or payment will be made of any material removed and replaced below the design limits of undergrading. No measurement will be made for overbreak or for the disposal of the same if such material is obtained from outside the neat lines of the proposed backslopes in rock excavation, except that such overbreak will be measured as Class A Excavation or Unclassified Excavation, as applicable, when all suitable authorized excavation has been used and the overbreak material will be required for completion of the embankment. A maximum tolerance of one foot will be permitted for rock protruding or extending within the neat lines of the proposed backslopes. 203.8.2.2 While work involving classified excavation is in progress, the engineer will fix points of elevation and stationing as required to establish the lines of demarcation between material of different classification. These top points will be determined before any Class C, sandstone or igneous rock excavation is removed, and the contractor shall notify the engineer before removing any such material. Any excavation removed before the engineer has been notified and given 24 hours to establish lines of demarcation will be included in the measurement of Class A Excavation only. 203.8.2.3 Excavation may be encountered in which lines of demarcation between material of different classifications are impractical to establish. The quantity of material classified as other than Class A Excavation may be determined by the engineer on a percentage basis as the work progresses after the limits of determinate classification material have been established. Where vertical or near vertical excavation limits are indicated by the plans, all Class A Excavation material encountered within the actual Class C vertical excavation limits will be included with Class C Excavation quantities. 203.8.2.4 Measured quantities of excavation will be used where the ground elevations shown on the plans are found to be erroneous. No revision of contract quantities will be made if the actual ground elevations are considered to agree generally with the ground line shown on the plans. Where the engineer authorizes a change in grade, slope or typical section affecting the volume of excavation allowed for payment in that particular balance or area, the revised volume will be determined by the average end area method on the basis of the revised grade, slope or typical section. Where unauthorized deviations result in a decrease in the contract quantities, the deviations will be measured and deducted from the contract quantity. 203.8.2.5 The quantity of Class C Excavation will be computed on a measured quantity basis. The volume of Class A Excavation allowed for payment in roadway balances involving rock excavation will be determined by one of the following methods, whichever in the judgment of the engineer is more applicable:
a.Measuring and computing both the Class A Excavation and the Class C Excavation within the limits affected or as defined by Sec 203.8.2.3.
b.Deducting the volume of Class C, sandstone or igneous rock excavation from the total adjusted volume of roadway excavation, regardless of classification, within the limits affected or as defined by 121Sec 203.8.2.3. 203.8.2.6 Measurement will be made for unsuitable material actually excavated and removed to permit proper compaction in cut sections and in foundations for embankment sections. No measurement will be made of the suitable material temporarily removed and replaced to facilitate compaction in cuts or under shallow embankments. 203.8.2.7 Borrow quantities will be determined by measuring the borrow area before and after excavating. 203.8.2.8 Excavated material stockpiled in accordance with Sec 203.4.9 will be measured in the stockpile by the average end area method. 203.8.2.9 Only that material placed in accordance with Sec 203.5 will be included in the measurement of Compacting Embankment and Embankment in Place. If an error has been found in the original computations or ground elevations, or if there has been an authorized change in grade, slope or typical section, the plan quantity for Compacting Embankment and Embankment in Place for those areas or balances affected will be adjusted for final payment. All required compaction above the original ground line and all compacting of material placed in undergraded cut sections will be considered as Compacting Embankment and Embankment in Place. 203.8.2.10 Compacting in cuts will be measured to the nearest 1/10 station along the centerline of each roadbed regardless of width, and will include any required compaction of the original ground under shallow embankments. For the purpose of measurement, a divided highway will be considered as having two roadbeds. Measurement of ramps will be made from or to the ramp’s gore point. Final measurement will not be made except for authorized changes during construction or where appreciable errors are found in the contract quantity. The revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity. 203.8.2.11 Measurement of roadway and drainage excavation, compacting embankments and embankments in place will be made to the nearest cubic yard . 203.9 Basis of Payment. Roadway and drainage excavation will be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard and will be considered full compensation for the following:
a.Excavating.
b.Hauling any distance.
c.Placing and forming embankments.
d.Preparation of subgrade.
e.Shouldering, rounding slopes, obliterating existing roadbeds or temporary construction, finishing of graded earth roadway, picking up and disposing of field stone and other rock.
f.Disposal of excess excavation.
g.Any work noted on the plans to be included in the contract unit price for excavation. 203.9.1 No payment will be made for any material used for purposes other than those designated, except as approved by the engineer. 203.9.2 Payment will be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for the applicable item of Class A Excavation or Unclassified Excavation for each handling of stockpiled excavation approved by the engineer. 203.9.3 No payment will be made for rock overbreak or for backfilling overbreak areas below the undergrading limits. Payment for the material for backfilling required undergraded areas will be made under an applicable excavation item. No direct payment will be made for backfilling around structures, the excavation for which has been paid for as roadway excavation. 203.9.4 If the contract does not contain a contract unit price for Class C Excavation and such material is encountered during construction, unless the project is let on an unclassified excavation basis, payment will be 122made per cubic yard at the fixed contract unit price specified in Sec 109, except that payment will be determined in accordance with Sec 109.4 when the quantity exceeds 500 cubic yards. 203.9.5 No direct payment will be made for water required in compaction work. Any costs involved in reducing the moisture content in soils will be at the contractor's expense. 203.9.6 Payment for finishing a graded earth roadway will be considered completely covered by the contract unit price for the various classes of excavation except as otherwise specifically noted under Sec 104.11.2 in regard to material excavated in cleaning channels and culverts used in place. 203.9.7 When removal of unsuitable material is directed by the engineer, the contractor will be reimbursed for excavation of the unsuitable material and the excavation of the suitable replacement material. Payment will be made for each operation at the contract unit price of Class A Excavation or Unclassified Excavation. Payment for placement of the suitable material will be paid for at the contract unit price of Compacting Embankment. 203.9.8 Embankment in Place will be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard , and will be considered full compensation for:
a.Furnishing and transporting material from stockpile sites or from a contractor-provided source.
b.Placing and forming embankments.
c.Compacting embankment or for adding or reducing the water content of the embankment.
d.Any excavation required to provide the embankment material included under the item of embankment in place, including mulching and seeding a borrow site.
e.Any work noted on the plans to be included in the contract unit price for embankment in place. 203.9.9 Payment will be made at the contract unit price for each of the pay items included in the contract. 123SECTION 204 EMBANKMENT MONITORING SECTION 204.10 SETTLEMENT GAUGES.

204.10.1 Description. This work shall consist of installing settlement gauges for the purpose of obtaining

foundation settlement data during and following placement of embankment and surcharge construction. An estimated number of settlement gauges will be indicated in the contract. The exact number and locations will be determined by the engineer.

204.10.2 Material. A settlement gauge shall consist of the following:

a.A plate with a galvanized riser pipe attached perpendicular to the center of the plate.
b.Lengths, to be approved by the engineer, of 3/4-inch threaded galvanized riser pipe and couplings.
c.Lengths, to be approved by the engineer, of galvanized 1 1/2-inch threaded pipe and couplings to act as a cover or guard for the riser pipe.

204.10.3 Construction Requirements.

204.10.3 1 The first section of the 3/4-inch pipe shall be firmly attached to the plate. The distance from the top

of plate to the top of pipe will be accurately measured and recorded by the engineer.

204.10.3 2 An excavation, slightly larger than the plate, shall be made to a depth approximately 18 inches below

the natural ground surface. Care shall be exercised during excavation to ensure that the bottom of the pit is level and that the material at this location is undisturbed. The pit bottom shall be covered with a layer of Portland cement mortar, approximately 3 inches thick, and the plate bedded therein in such position that the riser pipe is vertical. After the mortar has set, the cover pipe, cut approximately 6 inches shorter, shall be slipped over and centered around the riser pipe. The backfill shall then be placed in 6-inch layers and thoroughly compacted. The contractor shall notify the engineer when the installation is complete. No embankment shall be placed around the gauge until the elevation of the top of the riser has been determined by the engineer.

204.10.3 3 Embankment material in the immediate vicinity of the settlement gauge pipe shall be placed and

compacted in accordance with Sec 726.3.4. When the elevation of the embankment reaches a level approximately one foot below the top of the cover pipe, the engineer shall be notified and the next section of riser pipe and cover pipe shall be installed in the engineer's presence. As the height of the embankment increases, this procedure shall be repeated until the embankment and surcharge is completed, and the pipe sections, both riser and cover, extend approximately 2 feet above the surface of the completed embankment and surcharge.

204.10.3 4 All necessary precautions shall be taken to keep the alignment of the riser pipe and cover pipe

maintained in a vertical position at all times. The contractor shall operate equipment such that the settlement gauges are not damaged or displaced. Protective barriers shall be erected when directed by the engineer. Settlement gauges shall be maintained in a satisfactory operating condition until after placement of the embankment and surcharge and until, in the judgment of the engineer, the settlement readings are no longer necessary. Any damaged gauges shall be repaired or replaced by and at the contractor's expense.

204.10.3 5 The engineer will obtain and record all measurements and elevations necessary for accurate

determination of settlement data during and after completion of embankment and surcharge.

204.10.4 Basis of Payment. Accepted settlement gauges, complete in place, will be paid for at the contract unit

price. No direct payment will be made for any devices required to protect the gauges. SECTION 204. 20 PORE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICES.

204.20.1 Description. This work shall consist of placing and maintaining pore pressure measurement devices as

shown on the plans for obtaining foundation pore pressure measurements during the placement of embankment. Pore pressure measurement devices, locations, elevations and limits of embankment subject to control by each device will be shown on the plans. 124204.20.2 Equipment. Pore pressure measuring devices shall consist of the following types:

a.Type A. This device shall consist of a pneumatic transducer sealed within a sand chamber which is set into the foundation to the specified elevations.
b.Type B. This device shall consist of a 1/2-inch PVC standpipe extending to the surface of the embankment from a sand chamber set into the foundation to the specified elevations.

204.20.2 1 The pneumatic transducer, jacketed tubing, and necessary pressurizing and gauging equipment for

Type A installations will be furnished by the Commission without cost to the contractor upon two weeks written notice preceding the date of installation. The balance of the material for the Type A installation shall be furnished by the contractor. All material for the Type B installation shall be furnished by the contractor, except for the electrical sounding device.

204.20.3 Construction Requirements.

204.20.3 1 The contractor shall be responsible for the installation, furnishing all incidental material, providing

all necessary protection of the installation, and replacement in the event of damage, including cost of any replacement equipment furnished by the Commission. In the event of damage to the installation, the engineer may require suspension of embankment construction in the controlled area until the contractor has restored the installation to satisfactory working order. No embankment may be placed until the installation is complete and tested to the satisfaction of the engineer.

204.20.3 2 A hole of no less than 5 inches or no more than 8 inches in diameter shall be drilled to Elevation “B”

as shown on the plans. If necessary, casing shall be used to prevent sloughing of material from the walls of the hole and contamination of the walls or bottom of the hole by sloughed material. The outer diameter of the casing shall be no smaller than the diameter of the hole. The casing shall have no externally coupled joints in the bottom 10 feet.

204.20.3 3 If casing is required, the hole shall be washed to the bottom with clean water circulated through the

bit until the discharge is clear. Clean sand shall then be poured into the hole to the approximate depth shown on the plans. The assembled pore pressure measurement device shall then be lowered to the device’s indicated position with care to avoid contamination with soil from the side of the hole, and additional sand shall be placed around the device to Elevation “A” as shown on the plans. During these steps, any casing shall be pulled ahead of the backfill in increments of 6 to 24 inches as necessary to prevent collapse or sloughing of the hole. The hole shall be maintained full of clean water during these steps to at least the elevation of the top of the sand chamber. The creation of pockets of soil, air or voids in the sand backfill shall be avoided.

204.20.3 4 After sand is placed to the specified elevation, the hole shall be backfilled with wetted, plastic

bentonite clay as the casing is withdrawn, for no less than 4 feet above the top of the sand filled chamber. If necessary, the clay shall be worked by hand into plastic balls to be dropped into the hole and tamped into a coherent mass. An acceptable alternate is the use of preformed dry bentonite pellets. In dry installation, dry granular bentonite may be tamped in place. The remainder of the hole shall be filled with a thick slurry of bentonite.

204.20.3 5 At natural ground level, or as otherwise directed by the engineer, four layers of 3/4-inch exterior

grade plywood, 4 x 4 feet , nailed and clinched together with rustproof nails, and with a 3-inch diameter hole cut at the center shall be centered over the installation after the ground is smoothed and leveled with sand. A closet flange or other suitable receptacle shall be securely fastened to the plywood over the 3-inch diameter hole to securely receive a 5-foot length of 3-inch iron or steel casing. Earth or sand shall be compacted about the casing in 6-inch lifts with care to avoid misalignment after the engineer has established the elevation of the plywood slab and the top of the casing.

204.20.3 6 Upon completion, each installation shall be tested. Type A installations shall be tested in accordance

with recommendations of the transducer manufacturer. Type B installations shall be tested by dropping a weighted line through the standpipe to check for possible obstructions. The standpipe shall then be filled with water and periodic readings made of the water level in the standpipe until the level of natural groundwater is reached. If less than a 70 percent drop in head is experienced in the first 24 hours, the standpipe shall be flushed 125and retested. Records of rate of head loss shall be kept for subsequent evaluation of possible time lags in the response of water levels to embankment placement.

204.20.3 7 The engineer may require the installation of additional pore pressure measurement devices, at the

contract unit price, within any area subject to control by such devices, at any time during construction of the embankment. The engineer will determine the type of device, location and elevation of additional installations. Any such additional pore pressure measurement devices shall govern the rate of construction in the same manner as the original devices. The reference pressure levels for additional devices shall be either that of the original devices or as determined from boreholes located outside the loaded area, as directed by the engineer.

204.20.4 Pore Pressure Measurements and Records.

204.20.4 1 The engineer will make and record all observations and measurements required to determine natural

ground water pressures and pore water pressures induced by embankment construction. The pressure of the natural ground water existing at the time of installation and prior to placement of any embankment will be used as a reference to determine pore pressures induced by subsequent embankment placement. The engineer may subsequently require borings outside the loaded area to facilitate observations to determine if the natural groundwater table has lowered due to seasonal or climatic variations. Such observations may be used to lower, but not raise, the initial reference groundwater pressure.

204.20.4 2 The engineer will make all records of groundwater and pore water pressures readily available to the

contractor for guidance in the planning of the contractor's work.

204.20.4 3 If foundation pore pressure, in excess of pressure from the natural water table, equals or exceeds 35

percent of the unit pressure of the embankment in place over the installation at any time, placement of embankment shall be immediately suspended. Construction shall not resume until such excess pressure declines to 25 percent of embankment pressure, unless otherwise authorized by the engineer.

204.20.4 4 After the embankment reaches an elevation equal to 60 percent of the maximum height, the

contractor shall control the rate of construction in such a manner that foundation pore pressure, in excess of pressure from the natural water table, will not exceed 35 percent of the unit pressure of the embankment in place over the installation at any time. An example of pressure relationships follows: Soil embankment with an average wet density of 125 pounds per cubic foot is equal to twice the unit weight of water. A foot of such embankment thus has a potential to create, at most, 2 feet of water rise in a standpipe, or a 0.87 psi increase in a Type A installation. The contractor shall anticipate the maximum possible effect of any load to be added. Type B installations may exhibit some time lag in rate of response to a pressure increment. Records of pore pressure response during placement of the first 60 percent of embankment height shall be examined for evidence of such lag. The time required for dissipation of head during testing will also be indicative of the rate of response.

204.20.4 5 When embankment has advanced to within approximately one foot of the top of the casing, the

casing and the 1/2-inch PVC pipe for the Type B installations, shall be advanced in 5-foot increments. No extension shall be made without the engineer's approval. PVC pipe extensions shall be made using solvent welded couplings exercising care to make smooth, squared cuts with all burrs removed, in accordance with recommendations of the pipe and solvent cement manufacturers. Pneumatic tubing leads used with Type A installations shall be long enough to permit extension, without connections, to the top of the embankment or surcharge. Excess tubing shall be stored in a steel container attached to the last casing extension as shown on the plans.

204.20.5 Settlement Records. The engineer will make and record all measurements and elevations necessary,

including elevations of the plywood plate and all casing extensions, for use in establishing a settlement record at the site of the pore pressure measurement device. The 3-inch outer steel casing will be used for this purpose. Care shall be taken to ensure the tightest possible coupling connections, using pipe wrenches, without rotating the bottom pipe. Settlement records obtained in this manner may be used to satisfy such settlement rate requirements as may be outlined in the contract.

204.20.6 Basis of Payment.

204.20.6 1 The contract unit price shall include all effects, impacts and cumulative impacts of possible restraints

inherent in the use of these devices upon the rate of construction. No additional compensation will be made for 126any impact, cumulative impacts, inefficiency or any costs incurred as a result of compliance with this requirement.

204.20.6 2 Accepted pore pressure measurement devices, complete in place, will be paid for at the contract unit

price per each. 127SECTION 205 MODIFIED SUBGRADE 205.1 Description. This work shall consist of modifying a subgrade to improve stability. This work shall be performed as specified in the contract, at the contractor’s option with concurrence from the engineer or at the direction of the engineer. 205.2 Material. All material shall be in accordance with Division 1000, Material Details, and specifically as follows. 205.2.1 The modifying material shall be hydrated lime or other chemical material, a geogrid, a geotextile, or other material approved by the engineer. 205.2.1.1 If hydrated lime is used, the contractor shall furnish or require the supplier to furnish with each load certification that the product is in accordance with AASHTO M 216. 205.2.1.2 If chemical modifying material other than hydrated lime is used, the material and application plan shall be approved by the engineer prior to use. 205.2.2 If a geogrid or geotextile is used the product type and layout plan shall be approved by the engineer prior to use. 205.3 Construction Requirements. 205.3.1 Application. 205.3.1.1 If not directed by the engineer or specified in the contract, the contractor may determine the locations, amount of modifying material and depth of application, within the limits of this specification and subject to concurrence from the engineer. 205.3.1.2 Where performed, subgrade modification shall be done to all areas uniformly and laterally between outside shoulder points plus 18 inches on each side. When the chemically modified areas are stopped and started, there shall be a longitudinal transition zone at the rate of 30 feet per 6 inches of modified depth. The transition may be made by reducing modifying material or by mixing depth. 205.3.1.3 Chemical modifying material shall be spread in uniform and regular patterns. No material shall be applied if the material is being blown from the work area. 205.3.1.4 The application rate of the chemical modifying material shall be approved by the engineer. 205.3.2 Compaction. When chemically modified, the subgrade shall be uniformly mixed with the modifying material. Mixing and compaction shall continue until the subgrade is shown to have suitable compaction as demonstrated by the roller equipment. Density and moisture testing will ordinarily be waived for subgrade chemically modified under this specification, except that should compaction not be demonstrated to the engineer's satisfaction, the engineer reserves the right to run such tests as necessary to ensure density. When stabilized with a geogrid or geotextile, the subgrade will require recompaction to the specified density and moisture content only of it is disturbed by the goegrid or geotextile placement. 205.4 Method of Measurement. Measurement of modified subgrade will be made to the nearest square yard, including transition areas. Subgrade meeting all other requirements, suitable for the placing of base material and having modifying material incorporated as specified herein, will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard except as noted herein. 205.5 Basis of Payment. 205.5.1 If included in the contract, payment for modified subgrade will be made per square yard of modified subgrade at the contract unit price. No direct payment will be made for the required modifying material. 205.5.2 If performed at the option of the contractor, payment for modified subgrade will be made at the invoiced material cost from the supplier, and no reimbursement will be made for incorporation or for processing. 128205.5.3 If modified subgrade is not included in the contract and is directed by the engineer, payment will be made in accordance with Sec 104.3. 205.5.4 Reimbursement for transition areas will be made at the contract unit price per square yard for 1/2 the area of the transition. 205.5.5 Reimbursement will be limited to modified areas, the width of the pavement and shoulders, plus 18 inches on each side. 205.5.6 Only one payment for modified subgrade will be made for any area, regardless of the depth of stabilized material, number of applications or other circumstances. 129SECTION 206 EXCAVATION FOR STRUCTURES 206.1 Description. This work shall consist of the necessary excavation for the foundations of all structures, removal and disposal of all excavated material, backfilling around the completed structures, and all related work. 206.1.1 All removal work that might endanger the new structure shall be completed before any work on the new structure is started. Partial removals of any structure or adjustments to any utility shall be made with care to preserve the value of the retained portions. Work around any live utility shall be done in such a manner that uninterrupted service is maintained. 206.1.2 Excavated material that is unsuitable for backfill and embankments, and excess material not required for either, shall be disposed of. Excavated material shall not be dumped into the channel of a stream. 206.2 Depth of Excavation. The elevation of the bottoms of footings as shown on the plans shall be considered an approximate elevation, and the engineer by written order may make changes in plan elevations and dimensions of footings as necessary to secure a satisfactory foundation. 206.3 Foundation Stabilization and Tests. 206.3.1 The contractor shall furnish and place sand, rock, gravel or other suitable granular backfill material to replace unsuitable material encountered below box culvert slabs or below the foundation elevation of the structures. 206.3.2 The contractor shall stabilize suitable foundation material or form the bottom of pile footings, if necessary to obtain a stable foundation. The contractor shall assist in driving sounding rods or shall drill test holes to permit an adequate inspection of the foundation subgrade. The depth of the excavation, the character of the material and the condition of the foundation shall be approved by the engineer before any concrete is placed in the footing. 206.4 Construction Requirements. 206.4.1 Foundation Excavation Protection. Methods shall be used in excavating for foundations of structures that will ensure maintaining the stability of the material adjacent to the excavation. Sheeting, cribbing, timbering or bracing shall be placed by the contractor where indicated on the plans and wherever considered necessary. The contractor shall ensure the adequacy of all sheeting, cribbing, timbering or bracing used. 206.4.2 Foundation Key. Foundations for structures and retaining walls shall be free of loose material, and the footing shall be placed on undisturbed material. Footings shall be keyed no less than 6 inches into rock (limestone, dolomite or other suitable material with qu ≥ 100 ksf), and no less than 18 inches into weak rock (shale or other suitable material with 5 ksf ≤ qu ≤ 100 ksf)other suitable material specified for spread footings. Excavation in rock or weak rock for the key shall be made as near as practical to the size of the footing, or of the key, as shown on the plans. When placing the footing, the key portion shall be cast against the vertical, undisturbed face of the rock or weak rock. If side forms are necessary for footings, the forms shall be removed approximately 24 hours after placing the concrete, and the excavation immediately backfilled to the top of the footing. All cavities or crevices shall be cleaned out and filled with concrete in accordance with Sec 703.3.3.9, or spanned with a reinforced concrete beam, as directed by the engineer. 206.4.3 Foundation Subgrade. Care shall be taken to avoid disturbing the material below the bottom of the footings where the structure is founded on material other than rock, and final removal to grade shall not be made until just prior to placing concrete. Where foundation piles are required, the excavation of each pit shall be completed before the piles are driven, and after the driving is completed, all loose and displaced material shall be removed. 206.4.4 Culverts on Rock. If rock is encountered under a portion of the bottom slab of a concrete box-type structure, the rock shall be removed to at least 6 inches below the bottom of the slab and curtain walls, and backfilled with material similar to that under the remainder of the structure. 130206.4.5 Footing Construction. Concrete footings for structures shall be placed on foundation material that is reasonably dry in the judgment of the engineer. The contractor shall perform all draining, bailing or pumping operations, drive any sheeting, and construct any cofferdams or cribs necessary to obtain this condition. Pumping from the interior of any foundation enclosure shall be done in a manner to preclude the possibility of the movement of water, or other fluids or semi-fluids, through any fresh concrete. If necessary, the footing form shall be made watertight and shall be sealed around the bottom, and all pumping done between the footing form and the wall of the enclosure. 206.4.6 Footing Drainage. All holes, pits or sumps resulting from excavating operations shall be kept drained or pumped out until the completion of the work. No ponding of water around footings on other than rock will be permitted. 206.4.7 Cofferdams. In accordance with the contract, the contractor shall provide cofferdams, consisting of sheet piling, or the contractor may propose alternate methods for the construction of the bridge foundations. Alternate designs or methods may consist of, but are not limited to: the construction of cofferdams, seal courses, over excavation, well point systems, dewatering and drainage diversion. The method proposed by the contractor shall stay within the right of way limits provided in the contract. The interior dimensions of cofferdams shall provide sufficient clearance for the construction of forms, and ample room for a sump and for pumping outside the footing forms. Cofferdams that have been tilted or moved laterally during the process of sinking shall be corrected to provide the necessary clearance. Cofferdams shall be constructed to protect the work against damage from sudden rising waters and to prevent damage to the foundation by erosion. Cofferdams shall be removed after the completion of the substructure unit, unless specific authority is given for the cofferdam to remain in place. The contractor shall submit the proposed method of cofferdam construction to the engineer prior to beginning work. 206.4.8 Temporary Shoring. When temporary shoring is required by the contract documents, the contractor shall provide temporary shoring as needed, consisting of sheet piling or alternate methods for the construction of roadway fills, mechanically stabilized earth walls or structures. The contractor shall submit the proposed method of temporary shoring construction to the engineer prior to beginning work. 206.4.9 Seal Courses. Seal courses will be required if indicated on the plans or if conditions are encountered that, in the judgment of the engineer, render it impractical to dewater the foundation area. The dimensions of the seal course shall be adequate to seal the foundation area. Pumping will not be permitted while excavating, pile driving or placing the seal course, and not until, by determination of the engineer, the seal course has attained sufficient strength to withstand the hydrostatic pressure. If seal courses are shown on the plans, and the engineer determines that the footings may be satisfactorily placed without sealing, the contractor shall dewater any completed excavation for investigation purposes. The seal course designs shown on the plans are based on the use of sheet piling in construction of the cofferdams at the indicated water elevations. If the contractor’s proposed alternate method includes cofferdams that are to be constructed with seal courses, the contractor shall prepare construction plans that are properly designed for the site conditions and water elevations that may be encountered during footing construction. These plans shall be signed and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Missouri and shall be provided to the engineer for review a minimum of two weeks prior to the beginning of actual footing construction. The contractor is responsible for the safety and performance of the contractor’s proposed system. 206.4.10 Backfill. Backfill material shall be free from large or frozen lumps, wood or other extraneous material. All spaces excavated and not occupied by the new structure or by porous backfill shall be refilled with earth to the original ground surface or to the finished ground lines shown on the plans. The backfill at end bents, walls or other units that fall within the limits of the roadbed shall be placed in successive 6-inch layers and compacted to the same density required for the adjacent roadbed. Dry footings at interior bents shall be backfilled and compacted to no less than the density of the adjacent undisturbed material. Precautions shall be taken to prevent any wedging action against the masonry. The slope bounding the excavation, if steeper than 6:1 shall be stepped or serrated. Backfill placed around culverts and piers shall be kept at approximately the same elevation on opposing sides. Drains consisting of 5 cubic feet of coarse aggregate shall be placed at weep holes, except where porous backfill is required. Backfill material shall not be placed against end bents of bridges, on sides of box culverts or behind retaining walls until the concrete has attained the strength specified in Sec 703.3.2.13. Backfill material shall not be placed higher behind than in front of end bents until the superstructure, including the bridge deck, is in place. Until the grade is in place, drainage shall be maintained away from the end bent backwall by constructing a 6:1 or steeper slope away from the backwall for a minimum distance of 3 feet and by providing a lateral path for all water to flow off the roadbed section. 131206.4.11 Porous Backfill. Porous backfill, in accordance with Sec 1009, shall be placed behind abutments, wings and retaining walls where specified and shown on the plans. Porous backfill shall be placed and consolidated in successive 12-inch layers such that the porous backfill will not become mixed with other backfill material. 206.4.12 Flowable Backfill. Flowable backfill will be required when indicated on the plans. The contractor may, with approval from the engineer, use flowable backfill as an alternate to compacted backfill for structures, pipes or utility cuts. Flowable backfill intended for any other use by the contractor shall also be approved by the engineer. Flowable backfill shall not be used to surround drainage systems such as vertical drains or edge drains. Flowable backfill shall be in accordance with Sec 621. 206.4.13 Excavation Classification. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, excavation for structures will be classified as Class 1 Excavation, Class 1 Excavation in Rock, Class 2 Excavation, Class 2 Excavation in Rock, Class 3 Excavation, Class 3 Excavation in Rock, Class 4 Excavation and Class 4 Excavation in Rock. In general, Class 1 Excavation and Class 2 Excavation will apply to excavation for bridges and large retaining walls. Class 3 Excavation will apply to excavation for pipe culvert installations, utilities, retrofit pipe culverts, drop inlets, and manholes. Class 4 Excavation will apply to excavation for box culverts, small retaining walls and other miscellaneous structures. Class 1 Excavation will include all excavation above a specified elevation indicated on the plans while Class 2 Excavation will include all excavation below this specified elevation. The classification of excavation for all structures will be shown on the plans. 206.4.14 Culvert Cleanout. When cleanout of a culvert is specified, all silt, trash, rocks, broken concrete and any other debris shall be removed for the entire limits such that flow in the culvert is restored to full capacity. If a manual inspection cannot easily be made due to bends in the culvert, or excessive length, the contractor shall provide the engineer with a video inspection recording in accordance with Sec 724.3.4. 206.5 Method of Measurement. 206.5.1 Measurement of Class 1 and Class 2 Excavation will be made to the nearest 1/2 cubic yard for each structure of that volume of material actually removed from within the limits established in this section. The volume measured will be limited by vertical planes 18 inches outside of and parallel with the neat lines of footings, tie beams or overhangs of structures classed as bridges or retaining walls. The upper limits of the volume measured will be the existing ground line or the lower limits of the roadway, drainage or channel excavation, including any allowable overbreak, whichever is lower. Where roadway spill fills are required to be placed and compacted before driving piles or before constructing bridge substructure units, any required additional excavation for the substructure units will be measured from the spill slope. For stream crossings, the measured volume will not include water, but will include mud, muck and other semi-solids. The lower limits of the volume measured will be the bottom of the footings, bottom of seal courses, or 18 inches below the bottom of tie beams and overhangs. Excavation for columns above drilled shafts will be Class 1 Excavation, with measurement made of the volume of material actually removed above the top of the drilled shaft. The volume measured will not exceed that of a cylinder having a diameter 36 inches greater than that of the column above the drilled shaft. No measurement will be made of the material excavated for the drilled shaft below the bottom of the column. 206.5.2 Final measurement of Class 3 Excavation for pipe culverts, utilities, retrofit pipe culverts, drop inlets or manholes will not be made unless there is an authorized change from plan location resulting in a different quantity or there is an authorized change averaging more than 6 inches in the foundation elevation. If a revision is made or an appreciable error is found in the contract quantity, the revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity. Measurement of Class 3 Excavation will be made to the nearest cubic yard for each structure of that volume of material actually removed from within the area bounded by vertical planes 18 inches outside of the outer walls of the structure. The upper limits of the volume measured, will be the existing ground line, or the lower limits of the roadway excavation, whichever is lower. The lower limits of the volume measured will include excavation necessary for pipe bedding. 206.5.3 Measurement of Class 4 Excavation for box culverts classified as bridges will be made to the nearest cubic yard for each structure of that volume of material actually removed from within the area bounded by vertical planes 18 inches outside of the outer walls of box culverts with bottom slabs. The upper limits of the volume measured will be the existing ground line, or the lower limits of the roadway excavation, whichever is lower. Class 4 Excavation under embankments and in channel changes will be measured from the original 132ground surface unless otherwise designated on the plans. For box culverts without bottom slabs, measurement will be made as above except no material below plan flow line will be included that is outside of the area bounded by vertical planes 18 inches each side of and parallel with the neat lines of the walls or footings. Final measurement of Class 4 Excavation for box culverts not classified as bridges, small retaining walls and miscellaneous structures will not be made unless there is an authorized change from plan location resulting in a different quantity or there is an authorized change averaging more than 6 inches in the foundation elevation. If a revision is made or an appreciable error is found in the contract quantity, the revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity. Excavation classification will not change if a substitution of a drainage structure type is approved. 206.5.4 Where concrete in footings or walls is cast against the vertical faces of the excavation, the neat lines of the concrete footings will be considered the limits of excavation for that depth in which the concrete is in contact with the excavation, and no measurement will be made of any excavation or overbreak beyond the neat footing lines. 206.5.5 Final measurement of the porous backfill will not be made except for authorized changes during construction, or where appreciable errors are found in the contract quantity. Where required, the volume of porous backfill will be computed to the nearest cubic yard at each structure from dimensions on the plans. Any porous backfill material placed outside the neat lines shown on the plans shall be placed at the contractor's expense. The revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity. 206.6 Basis of Payment. 206.6.1 Payment for additional Class 1 and Class 2 Excavation required to carry footings a maximum of 8 feet below elevations shown on the plans will be made at 125 percent of the contract unit price for that additional excavation within the limits of Class 1, and at 150 percent of the contract unit price for that additional excavation within the limits of Class 2 Excavation. Additional excavation required to carry footings a depth of more than 8 feet below plan elevations will be considered changes in the work, and will be paid for in accordance with Sec 104.3. 206.6.2 Payment for drilling test holes for foundation tests will be made per foot of hole drilled at the fixed contract unit price specified in Sec 109. 206.6.3 Payment will not be made for removal or replacement of foundation material that became unsuitable because of improper methods of construction by the contractor. Payment for removal of inherently unsound material for foundation stabilization will be made at the contract unit price for excavation for structures. No payment will be made for any costs involved in replacing the volume below the foundations, except that the contractor will be reimbursed for the delivered cost of the granular backfill when directed by the engineer. 206.6.3.1 If Class C Excavation material, as defined in Sec 203, is encountered in Class 1 Excavation, and no pay item for Class 1 Excavation in Rock is included in the contract, payment for that material will be made per cubic yard at the fixed contract unit price specified in Sec 109. 206.6.3.2 If Class C Excavation material, as defined in Sec 203, is encountered in Class 2 Excavation and no pay item for Class 2 Excavation in Rock is included in the contract, payment for that material will be made per cubic yard at the fixed contract unit price specified in Sec 109. 206.6.3.3 If Class C Excavation material, as defined in Sec 203, is encountered in Class 3 Excavation and no pay item for Class 3 Excavation in Rock is included in the contract, payment for that material will be made per cubic yard at the fixed contract unit price specified in Sec 109. 206.6.3.4 If Class C Excavation material, as defined in Sec 203, is encountered in Class 4 Excavation and no pay item for Class 4 Excavation in Rock is included in the contract, payment for that material will be made per cubic yard at the fixed unit price specified in Sec 109. 206.6.4 No direct payment will be made for placing porous backfill at weepholes in accordance with Sec 206.4.11, or for backfilling the structure. 133206.6.5 The accepted quantities of excavation for structures and porous backfill will be paid for at the contract unit price for each of the pay items included in the contract. 206.6.6 All costs for furnishing material, labor or equipment, construction, dewatering, drainage, and any other incidental work necessary to complete cofferdam construction; and subsequent removal of any cofferdams, berms, diversions, and any other features constructed for cofferdams as identified by the engineer will be considered completely covered in the contract unit price per lump sum per bent, regardless of construction method. Payment for Class 1 Excavation and/or Class 2 Excavation will be limited to the volume defined in Sec 206.5. No additional payment for excavation will be made for a contractor proposed method of cofferdam construction. 206.6.7 All costs for furnishing material, labor, equipment, construction, drainage and other incidental work necessary to complete temporary shoring construction; and subsequent removal of any temporary shoring, berms, diversions, and any other features as identified by the engineer will be considered completely covered in the contract unit price per lump sum regardless of construction method. 206.6.8 No direct payment will be made for removing existing structures within the limits of excavation for structures. Existing headwalls or culvert concrete to be removed will be paid for as removal of improvements for roadway culverts or partial removal of culvert concrete for bridge culverts. 206.6.9 Payment for seal courses other than those on the plans will be made only with written authorization from the engineer. 206.6.10 Any material excavated in cleaning out culverts will be paid for at the contract unit price per each structure. However, only the initial excavation will be paid for, and any subsequent cleaning required prior to final acceptance shall be done at the contractor's expense. No additional payment will be made for the video inspection, when required. 134SECTION 207 LINEAR GRADING 207.1 Description. This work shall consist of grading work necessary to bring the roadway to the required grade and cross section within reasonable tolerances. The work shall also include the following:

a.Construction of all inlet and outlet ditches and ditch blocks within the linear grading limits unless otherwise provided for in the contract.
b.Construction of entrances and approaches.

Deleterious content shall be determined once per 5,000 tons unless quality concerns dictate more frequent testing as directed by the engineer. Gradation and asphalt content of RAP shall be determined once every 10,000 tons of production. If RAP is used and AASHTO T 308 is used to determine the asphalt content, the binder ignition oven shall be calibrated in accordance with MoDOT Test Method TM 77. At the engineer’s discretion, testing may be waived when production does not exceed 200 tons per day. The contractor shall certify the proper proportions of a previously proven mixture were used. 401.8.2 Failing Test. If a, deleterious content, or asphalt content test result falls outside of the specification tolerances, a review or adjustment of the plant settings and production shall be made and another sample shall be immediately taken. If the second test falls outside of the specification tolerances, production shall be immediately ceased until the mixture can be brought back into specification. If a gradation test falls between the Tolerance and Action Limits, adjustments to plant shall be made and another gradation shall be taken immediately. Plant production for the following day shall not resume until the mixture is brought back into specification when the final gradation for the day is not within tolerance. If a gradation test falls outside the Action Limit, production shall cease until the mixture is brought back into specification. 401.8.3 Retained Samples. One half of the contractor’s sample for gradation, deleterious content, and asphalt content and all cores shall be retained for the engineer. The contractor shall retain the samples for 7 days after testing has been completed and the results accepted by the engineer. 401.8.4 Pavement Testing.During construction, the engineer will designate as many tests as necessary to ensure that the course is being constructed of proper thickness, composition and density.

A favorable comparison will be considered when a QA test is within the specification tolerances. An acceptance test for plasticity index will be performed at a minimum rate of one per project by the engineer on an independent 170sample taken during production. Initial testing will be performed the first week of production. When the plasticity index on an individual aggregate fraction is more than two percentage points above the value shown on the approved mix design, moisture susceptibility testing shall be required in accordance with Sec 401.4.5. At least once for every five days of production, a split of the contractor’s sample will be tested. If the results of the split sample are not within five percent on all sieves above the No. 200, two percent on the No. 200, within the specification ranges on the deleterious content, and within 0.5 percent on the asphalt content from the contractor’s results, another split sample will be taken jointly with the contractor and tested. If the second test results do not compare within the specification tolerances, production shall cease until the discrepancy is resolved. If the second test results compare within the above tolerances, production may continue. The engineer will retain one half of the plasticity index test and moisture susceptibility test for 7 days after testing is complete. Results of QA testing will be furnished to the contractor within 24 hours of obtaining the sample, with the exception of moisture susceptibility testing.

403.10.2 Substitutions. With approval from the engineer, the contractor may substitute a smaller nominal

maximum size mixture for a larger sized mixture. Specifications governing the substitute mixture shall apply. Except for a single surface layer, the total pavement thickness shall be maintained when the substitute mixture layer is reduced as allowed in Sec 403.13 by increasing the thickness of other layers or courses. The contract unit price for the original mixture shall be used.

403.11 Field Adjustments of Job Mix Formulas. When test results indicate the mixture produced does not

meet the specification requirements, the contractor may field adjust the job mix formula as noted herein. Field adjustments may consist of changing the percent binder as listed on the original approved job mix by no more than 0.3 percent. Additional fractions of material or new material will not be permitted as field adjustments. The engineer shall be notified immediately when any change is made in the cold feed settings, the hot bin settings or the binder content. A new Gsb shall be calculated using the new aggregate percentages. The gradation of the adjusted mixture shall meet the requirements of the mixture type specified in the contract. When the binder content is adjusted more than 0.3 percent, the mixture will be considered out of specification, and a new mix design shall be established.

403.11.1 Field Mix Redesign. When a new mix design will be required, the contractor will be permitted to

establish the new mix design in the field. The mixture shall be designed in accordance with AASHTO R 35 or AASHTO R 46 and shall meet the mix design requirements, including TSR. A representative sample of the mixture shall be submitted with the new mix design to the Central Laboratory for mixture verification. The amount of mixture submitted for verification shall weigh at least 50 pounds.

403.11.1 1 Approval. New mix designs established in the field shall be submitted for approval to Construction

and Materials. Upon approval, Construction and Materials will assign a new mix number to the mixture.

403.11.1 2 Resume Production. No mixture shall be placed on the project until the new field mix design is

approved.

403.12 Application of Prime or Tack. The prime coat, if specified, shall be applied in accordance with Sec

408. A tack coat is required on all existing pavement and shoulder surfaces that will be overlaid with a bituminous mixture. A tack coat is also required between all lifts of bituminous pavements placed within the driving and turn lanes, unless otherwise specified in the contract. All construction requirements of a tacked surface shall be in accordance with Sec 407, and specified herein. The tack coat shall be applied uniformly and shall completely cover the surface upon which the bituminous mixture is to be placed. Placement of a bituminous mixture shall not be placed upon a tacked surface that is not uniformly covered or surfaces that have experienced excessive loss of tack due to tracking. Re-application of tack due to excess tracking or non-uniform coverage shall be at the contractor’s expense.

403.13 Spreading and Finishing. The base course, primed or tacked surface, or preceding course or layer shall

be cleaned of all dirt, packed soil or any other foreign material prior to spreading the asphaltic mixture. If lumps are present or a crust of mixture has formed, the entire load will be rejected. The thickness and width of each course shall conform to the typical section in the contract. The contractor may elect to construct each course in 183multiple layers. The minimum compacted thickness shall be 0.75 inches for SP048, 1.25 inches for SP095, 1.75 inches for SP125, 2 inches for SP190, and 3 inches for SP250.

403.13.1 Paving Widths. The following shall apply for roadways constructed under traffic. For pavements

having a width of 16 to 24 feet, inclusive, the asphaltic concrete pavement shall be laid in lanes approximately one half the full width of the completed pavement, and the full width shall be completed as soon as practical. Unless otherwise permitted, a single lane of any course shall not be constructed to a length that cannot be completed to full width of the pavement the succeeding operating day. For pavements greater than 24 feet wide, single lane width construction shall be limited to one day's production and completion to full width shall be accomplished as soon as practical. Uneven pavement shall be left in place for no more than seven days, unless approved by the engineer. Removal of pavement to be in accordance with this specification shall be at the contractor’s expense.

403.13.2 Segregation. No segregation will be permitted in handling the mixture at the plant, from the truck or

during spreading operations on the roadbed. All layers shall be feathered out, by hand raking if necessary, in transitioning the depth of the surface to meet present grades at bridges or ends of projects, to provide a uniform, smooth riding surface free of irregularities. Where only the top layer of the surfacing continues across a bridge, the bottom layers shall be feathered out. In situations where there is a dispute in the existence of segregation, the area in question will be tested in accordance with MoDOT Test Method TM 75. Mixture production shall immediately cease if either criteria of MoDOT Test Method TM 75 fail. Segregated mixture shall be removed and replaced to the limits determined by the engineer.

403.13.3 Release to Traffic. If the asphaltic concrete construction consists of more than a single layer, each

layer shall be compacted as specified and allowed to cool to the ambient temperature before the next layer is placed. The contractor shall keep traffic off the asphaltic concrete until the surface of the asphaltic concrete is 140 F or below and the asphaltic concrete has cooled sufficiently to prevent flushing of the asphalt binder to the surface, marking or distorting the surface or breaking down the edges.

403.13.4 Draindown. Evidence of asphalt binder separation or draindown at delivery will be cause for rejection.

403.13.5 Shoulder Substitution. When a Sec 403 mixture is specified for traffic lanes, the same mixture may

be used for the adjacent shoulder, subject to the density requirements in Sec 403.5.2.

403.14 Spot Wedging and Leveling Course. The engineer will specify the locations and thickness of spot

wedging and the thickness of leveling course to obtain the smoothest possible riding surface. This procedure may result in spot wedging operations over small areas with feather-edging at high points and ends of wedge areas. Rigid control of the placement thickness of the leveling course shall be required. Leveling course, consisting of a layer of asphaltic concrete of variable thickness used to superelevate curves and eliminate irregularities in the existing base, shall be spread uniformly to the specified profile grade and cross section. The mixture shall be uniformly spread and compacted, with only minor segregation as accepted by the engineer. Type SP125 or finer mixtures, as applicable, shall be used for the spot wedging and for the leveling course.

403.15 Compaction. After the asphaltic mixture has been spread, struck off and surface irregularities adjusted,

the asphaltic mixture shall be compacted thoroughly and uniformly by rolling to obtain the required compaction while the mixture is in a workable condition. Excessive rolling, to the extent of aggregate degradation, will not be permitted. Rollers shall not be used in the vibratory mode when the mixture temperature is below 225 F. When warm mix technology is used, as approved by the engineer, rollers shall not be used in the vibratory mode when the mixture temperature is below 200 F .

403.15.1 Rolling. Any displacement occurring as a result of starting, stopping or changing direction of a roller,

or from other causes, shall be avoided. Excess liquid, to prevent adhesion of the mixture to the rollers, will not be permitted. Diesel fuel, fuel oil or other detrimental products shall not be used as wetting agents. Along forms, curbs, headers, walls and other places not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with hot hand tampers, smoothing irons or with mechanical tampers.

403.15.2 Defective Mixture. Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt or is in any way

defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh, hot mixture, which shall be compacted to conform with the surrounding area. Any area showing an excess or deficiency of asphalt binder shall be removed and replaced. 184403.15.3 Non-Traffic Areas. Sec 403 mixtures used for surfacing medians and similar areas, shoulders adjacent to rigid or flexible pavement and shoulders adjacent to resurfaced pavement shall be compacted to the specified densities for the mixture. Once an established rolling pattern has been demonstrated to provide the required density for shoulders, at the engineer's discretion, the pattern may be used in lieu of density tests provided no changes in the material, typical location or temperatures are made. Regardless of the method, density will still be required and subject to testing as deemed necessary by the engineer. In lieu of roller and density requirements, temporary bypasses to be maintained at the expense of the contractor shall be thoroughly compacted. The rolling shall be performed at proper time intervals and shall be continued until there is no visible evidence of further consolidation.

403.15.4 Density Measurement. Measurements for determining the in-place density of the mixture shall be

taken no later than the day following placement. Measurements not obtained within the prescribed time limits shall be subject to the requirements of Sec 403.22. If a core is taken, material from underlying layers that remain adhered to the core shall be removed in a manner that does not harm the integrity of the specimen. If the contractor elects to place a lift of mixture greater than six times the nominal maximum aggregate size, cores shall be cut in half and the density of each half determined separately.

403.16 Joints. Transverse joints shall be formed by any method that will produce a dense, vertical section for

use when laying is resumed. When a transverse vertical edge is to be left and opened to traffic, a temporary depth transition shall be built as approved by the engineer. The joint formed when the fresh mixture is placed shall be dense, well sealed, and the grade, line and surface texture of the succeeding surface shall conform to that of the joined surface. If directed by the engineer, the transverse joint shall be painted with a light coating of liquid asphalt. Hand manipulation of the mixture shall be minimized to avoid unsightly surface texture.

403.16.1 Joint Composition. Longitudinal joints shall be formed by the use of an edging plate fixed on both

sides of the finishing machine. Care shall be taken to obtain a well bonded and sealed longitudinal joint by placing the hot mixture in a manner ensuring maximum compaction at this point. If directed by the engineer for properly sealing the longitudinal joint, a light coating of bituminous material shall be applied to the exposed edge before the joint is made. The minimum density of all traveled way pavement within 6 inches of a longitudinal joint, including the pavement on the traveled way side of the shoulder joint, shall not be less than 2.0 percent below the specified density when unconfined. The density of the longitudinal joint when confined will be included in the evaluation of the remainder of the mat. Each side of the joint shall be flush and along true lines.

403.16.2 Joint Offset. The longitudinal joint in any layer shall offset that in the layer immediately below by a

minimum of 6 inches; except, the joints in the completed surfacing shall be at the lane lines of the traveled way or other required placement width outside the travel lane. The placement width shall be adjusted such that pavement marking shall not fall on a longitudinal joint.

403.19 Acceptance of Material. Acceptance of bituminous mixture will be based on lots. Material will be

sampled from the roadway behind the paver in lots or sublots on a random basis through the use of a random number system and evaluated using a Quality Level Analysis (QLA). A QLA will determine payment based on a combination of the total PWL (PWLt) determined for each pay factor item for each lot of material produced.

403.19.1 Random Numbers. The engineer will generate random numbers.

403.19.2 Lots. The lot size shall be designated in the contractor’s QC Plan. Each lot shall contain no less than

four sublots and no more than 28 sublots. The maximum sublot size shall be 1,000 tons. Sublots from incomplete lots totaling less than 4,000 tons shall be combined with the previous complete lot for determination of pay factors. When no previous lot exists, the mixture shall be treated in accordance with Sec 403.23.7.4.1. A new lot shall begin when the asphalt content of a mixture is adjusted in accordance with Sec 403.11.

Up to two additional cores, as stated in the QC Plan, may be obtained at the same offset within one foot of the randomly selected location. If more than one core is obtained, all cores shall be combined into one sample. cPayment will be based on the table in Sec 403.23.5. dOther methods may be approved by establishing correction factors for RAP from the same source. eAASHTO T 331 may be substituted for AASHTO T 166.

403.19.3 1 Test Method Modification.

403.19.3 1.1 Binder Ignition Modification. Asphalt content determination in accordance with AASHTO T

308, Section 6.9.1 shall be modified by adding the following: If the calibration factor exceeds 1.0 percent, lower the test temperature to 800 ± 8 F and repeat test. Use the calibration factor obtained at 800 F even if it exceeds 1.0 percent. If RAP is used, the binder ignition oven shall be calibrated in accordance with MoDOT Test 189Method TM 77. At the engineer’s discretion, testing may be waived when production does not exceed 200 tons per day. The contractor shall certify the proper proportions of a previously proven mixture were used.

403.19.3 1.2 Rice Test. When the water absorption of any aggregate fraction is greater than 2.0 percent, the test

method for determining theoretical maximum specific gravity, AASHTO T 209, shall be modified as follows: After completing the procedure in accordance with Section 9.5.1 or 9.5.2, drain water from the sample. To prevent loss of fine particles, decant the water through a paper towel held over the top of the container. Spread the sample before an electric fan to remove surface moisture. Weigh at 15-minute intervals, and when the loss in mass is less than 0.05 percent for this interval, the sample may be considered to be surface dry. This procedure requires about 2 hours and shall be accompanied by intermittent stirring of the sample. Break conglomerations of mixture by hand. Take care to prevent loss of particles of mixture. Calculate the specific gravity of the sample by substituting the final surface-dry mass for A in denominator of Equations 2 or 3.

403.19.3 1.3 Mixture Bulk Specific Gravity. Determining bulk specific gravity using paraffin-coated

specimens, AASHTO T 275, shall not be used when required by AASHTO T 166. Alternate methods are AASHTO T 331 and ASTM D1188. The surface of specimens prepared for testing by these methods may have the surface texture removed by sawing a minimal amount. Specimens shall be securely held in a jig or other clamping device to eliminate distortion and retain a face parallel to the original surface. Measurements for lift thickness shall be made prior to sawing.

403.19.3 2 Miscellaneous Applications.

403.19.3 2.1 Small Quantities. Small quantities are less than 4000 tons for each separate mixture. This applies

to individual projects, individual projects in combination contracts or projects with short discontinuous sections. The contractor has the option to use all testing frequencies in accordance with Sec 403.19.3 or the following shall apply:

a.A field laboratory will not be required for monitoring mixtures. All required QC and QA testing shall be performed in an approved laboratory.
b.QC tests required in Sec 403.19.3 shall be performed at a frequency of no less than one per day if production does not exceed 750 tons and at a frequency of no less than two per day if production exceeds 750 tons. Independent or retained sample QA tests shall be performed at least once per 1500 tons, as indicated.

403.19.3 2.2 Base Widening and Entrances. For base widening mixture and entrance work, the following will

apply:

a.All base widening shall be constructed in accordance with Sec 401.7 and subsections.
b.The minimum density of these mixtures shall be attained as specified herein, except, compaction may be performed in accordance with Sec 403.15.3.

403.19.4 Dispute Resolution. When there are significant discrepancies between the engineer's and the

contractor's test results, dispute resolution procedures will be used.

403.19.4 1 Cease Work. The contractor's operations may be required to cease until the dispute is resolved if the

test results indicate the mixture is subject to failure.

403.19.4 2 Third Party Resolution. The first step in dispute resolution will be to identify differences in

procedures and correcting inappropriate procedures before moving to third party resolution. If that does not resolve the dispute, either the contractor or the engineer may request the approved QC Plan third party involvement. The recommendations of the approved third party shall be binding on both the engineer and contractor.

403.19.4 3 Third Party Payment. The contractor shall be responsible for the cost associated with the third

party testing and resolution if the final result indicates the engineer's test results were correct. Likewise the Commission will be responsible for the cost associated with the third party testing and resolution when the final result indicates the contractor's results were correct. 190403.19.4.4 Other Adjustments. The contractor shall not be entitled to any additional payment for costs incurred due to use of the dispute resolution procedures such as, but not limited to, those for delay, cessation of operations, costs to subcontractors, etc. The engineer may give consideration to adjustment of working days if warranted.

403.20 Surface Smoothness. The finish of the pavement surface shall be substantially free from waves or

irregularities and shall be true to the established crown and grade. The pavement surface shall be thoroughly tested for smoothness by profiling or straighedging in accordance with Sec 610.

403.21 General Requirements.

403.21.1 Sequence of Operations. To reduce inconvenience to the traveling public during widening or

surfacing, the contractor will not be permitted to place any final surface course until the base widening, the leveling course and the binder course have been completed throughout the entire combination of sections, unless otherwise authorized by the engineer. The proper condition of the base widening, the leveling course and the binder course, at the time of placing the surface course, shall be the contractor's responsibility.

403.21.2 Pavement Marking. If the contractor's work has obliterated the existing pavement marking on

resurfacing projects open to through traffic, the pavement marking shall be replaced in accordance with Sec 620.

403.21.3 Surfaced Approaches. At locations designated in the contract or as specified by the engineer,

approaches shall be primed in accordance with Sec 408 and surfaced with Type SP125 asphaltic concrete. The asphaltic concrete surface shall be placed in accordance with the details shown on the plans or as specified by the engineer. Approaches shall not be surfaced until after the surface course adjacent to the entrance is completed. Any work required to condition and prepare the subgrade on the approaches will be at the contractor’s expense.

403.21.4 Filling Drain Basins. If shown on the plans, existing drain basins shall be filled to the top of the lip

with plant mix bituminous base course or asphaltic concrete from the pavement edge to the edge of the shoulder. Any difficulty or delay created by this requirement will be at the contractor’s expense.

403.21.5 Pavement Repairs (Blow-Ups). A blow-up will be considered that area where excessive expansion

has resulted in distress to the existing pavement. Blow-ups occurring prior to the application of the tack coat on the existing surface will normally be repaired by the Commission. Blow-ups occurring after the application of the tack coat shall be repaired by the contractor by removing the distressed concrete and replacing the pavement in accordance with Sec 613.

403.22 Method of Measurement.

403.22.1 Weight Determination. The weight of the mixture will be determined from the batch weights if a

batch-type plant is used, and will be determined by weighing each truck load on scales in accordance with Sec 310 if other types of plants are used. Measurement will be made to the nearest 0.1 ton for the total tonnage of material accepted.

403.22.2 Full Depth.

403.22.2 1 The final driving surface area, for the full depth of the pavement, will be used as the area for all

underlying bituminous lifts and will not include the additional quantity needed to construct the 1:1 slope.

403.22.2 2 Final measurement of the completed pavement will not be made except for authorized changes

during construction, or where appreciable errors are found in the contract quantity. Where required, measurement of the pavement complete in place will be made to the nearest 0.1 square yard. The revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity.

403.22.3 Alternate Overlay.

403.22.3 1 Field Established Quantity. When bid as an alternate to a Portland cement concrete overlay, the

contractor shall establish the existing roadway profile and set the final overlay profile. The engineer may adjust the final profile as needed. The tons of hot mix asphalt required will be determined by the engineer from the set or adjusted profile. This quantity will be the field established plan quantity. 191403.22.3.2 Overlay Measurement. Final measurement of the completed pavement will be based on the field established plan quantity except for authorized changes during construction. The revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity. Measurement of the pavement complete in place will be made to the nearest 0.1 ton.

403.22.4 Pavement Testing. The finished courses shall have the nominal thickness shown on the plans. Tests

will be conducted to ensure that each course is being constructed to proper thickness, composition and density. The contractor shall cut samples from any layer of the compacted mixture at locations designated by the engineer. QA samples shall be cut and delivered to the engineer no later than the end of the next day following the laydown operation. If the samples are not cut and delivered as stated, the asphaltic laydown operation may be suspended and a deduction of 5 percent per day of the contract unit price of the representative material may be applied, until samples are cut and delivered to the engineer. Samples may be obtained by either sawing or drilling 4-inch minimum diameter cores. Each sawed sample shall consist of a single piece of the pavement of the size designated by the engineer, but no larger than 12 inches square.

403.22.4 1 Pavement Thickness. Lift thickness may be determined by the average thickness of cores taken for

density measurements for each lot. Total thickness samples for new full depth asphalt pavements shall be obtained after all bituminous construction is completed on the project and shall be taken at locations specified by the engineer. For the purpose of determining the constructed thickness of full depth pavement, cores shall be taken at random intervals in each traffic lane at the rate of one core per 1000 feet or increment thereof, or at any other locations as may be determined by the engineer and measured in accordance with AASHTO T 148. Sections of any asphaltic concrete determined to be 0.5 inches or more, less than the thickness shown on the plans, shall be corrected by the contractor. No payment will be made for any costs incurred by the contractor in correcting pavement deficient in thickness. Each core is representative of the pavement thickness for a distance extending one-half the distance to the next core, measured along centerline, or in the case of a beginning or ending core, the distance will extend to the end of the pavement.

403.22.4 2 Surface Restoration. The surface from which samples have been taken, including those for density

measurements, shall be restored by the contractor with the mixture then being produced no later than the next day of plant operation, if construction is still active. If bituminous construction has been completed, the surface from which samples have been taken shall be restored within 48 hours with an approved commercial mixture or with cold patch mixtures acceptable to the engineer.

403.23 Basis of Payment.

403.23.1 Aggregate Variation. Due to possible variations in the specific gravity of the aggregates, the tonnage

of mixture used may vary from the proposal quantities. No adjustment in contract unit price will be made because of such variation.

403.23.2 Compacted Samples. Payment for obtaining and delivering samples of compacted mixture from the

pavement and replacing the surface will be made per sample at the fixed price specified in Sec 109. No direct payment will be made for samples taken for QC testing.

403.23.3 Payment for Pavement Repairs (Blow-ups). Payment for repairing blow-ups will be made in

accordance with Sec 104.

403.23.4 Smoothness Adjustment. The contract unit price for all mixes, except wedge or level course, will be

adjusted in accordance with Sec 610.5. The contract unit prices for asphaltic concrete pavement will be considered full compensation for all materials entering into the construction of the pavement and for the cost of the smoothness testing and correction.

403.23.5 Tensile Strength Retained Adjustment. The contract unit price of each 10,000 tons or fraction

thereof for all mixtures shall be adjusted based on TSR according to the following: TSR Percent of Contract Price 90% and above 103 75-89% 100 70-74% 98 19265-69% 97 <65% Remove

403.23.6 Density Adjustment. Pay adjustments due to longitudinal joint density will apply to the full width of

the lane paved. The average of joint cores from each lot will determine specification compliance. Adjustments will be in accordance with Sec 403.23.7.4.1(b). If payment reductions are necessary, the lower adjusted contract unit price of the PWL or unconfined joint density adjustment will apply. Adjustments due to joint density will apply to the lot from which the cores are obtained.

403.23.7 Percent Within Limits. PWL will be based on the mean, standard deviation and quality index of each

lot's test results. The upper PWL (PWLu) and lower PWL (PWL1) is determined from the table in Sec 502.15.8. Total percent within limits, PWLt, is: PWLt = (PWLu + PWL1) - 100. The mean is: xa = (∑xi)/n Where: xa = Average of the individual values being considered ∑ xi = The summation of all the individual values being considered n = The number of individual values under consideration The Standard Deviation is: s = (∑(xi - xa)2/(n - 1))1/2 The Upper Quality Index is: Qu = (USL - xa)/s The Lower Quality Index is: Q1 = (xa - LSL)/s Where: Qu = Upper Quality Index Q1 = Lower Quality Index USL = Pay Factor Item Upper Spec Limit LSL = Pay Factor Item Lower Spec Limit

403.23.7 1 Quality Level Analysis. The engineer will make the QLA no more than 24 hours after receipt of the

contractor's test results, by determining the PWLt for each designated pay factor item.

403.23.7 1.1 Acceptance. The contractor's test results will be used when applicable to determine the PWL,

provided the contractor's QC tests and the engineer's QA tests compare favorably, and provided the engineer's inspection and monitoring activities indicate the contractor is following the approved QC Plan.

403.23.7 1.2 Comparison. Favorable comparison will be obtained when the engineer's QA test results on a

production sample are within two standard deviations, or one-half the specification tolerance, whichever is greater, from the mean of the contractor's test results for that particular lot.

403.23.7 1.3 Outliers. No test result shall be discarded, except individual test results on a lot basis may be

checked for an outlier in accordance with the statistic T in ASTM E 178, at a significance level of 5 percent. If an outlier is found, material from the retained QA sample may be tested, in the presence of the engineer, to determine a replacement test value. The replacement test value shall be used in the PWL determination.

403.23.7 1.4 Roadway/Shoulder Lots. For the purpose of QLA, mixture placed on the traveled way and placed

on the traveled way and shoulders integrally, shall be accounted for in a regular lot/sublot routine. Mixture placed on shoulders only shall be accounted for in a shoulder lot/sublot routine.

403.23.7 1.5 Random Sampling. For the purpose of QLA, all mixture placed on the roadway shall be subject to

random testing, except mixture placed within 6 inches of an unconfined longitudinal joint shall not be subject to evaluation. Random samples taken in the same day may be separated by 200 tons.

403.23.7 2 Pay Factors. The total pay factor (PFT) for each lot will be equal to the weighted sum of the pay

factors (PF) for each pay factor item for each lot, and is determined as follows: PFT = + (0.25) PFdensity + (0.25) PFAC + (0.25) PFVMA + (0.25) PFVa 193The PFT for each lot, on the shoulder or otherwise when the density pay factor is not directly included, will be equal to the weighted sum of the PF for each pay factor item for each lot, and will be determined as follows: PFT = + (0.3333) PFAC + (0.3333) PFVMA + (0.3333) PFVa The PF for each pay factor item for each lot will be based on the PWLt of each pay factor item of each lot and will be determined as follows: When PWLt is greater than or equal to 70: PF = 0.5 PWLt + 55 When PWLt is less than 70: PF = 2 PWLt - 50

403.23.7 2.1 Density Pay Factor. The theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mixture, as determined for

each sublot and the bulk specific gravity of no less than one core from each sublot, will be used to perform the QLA for the percent of theoretical maximum density. Thick cores required to be cut in half in accordance with Sec 403.15.4 shall effectively double the number of sublots for cores. When density is not used as a pay factor, additional adjustment of the contract unit price will be based on the table in Sec 403.23.7.4.1(b).

403.23.7 2.2 Asphalt Content Pay Factor. The QLA will be performed using the asphalt content test results

from each lot.

403.23.7 2.3 Voids in the Mineral Aggregate and Air Voids Pay Factor. Two gyratory specimens shall be

compacted for each sublot and the average of the two specimens will be used to calculate the volumetrics of the sublot. The VMA, VFA, and air voids shall be determined from the gyratory compacted specimens. The VMA and air voids for the QLA shall be those calculated using the combined bulk specific gravity of the aggregate as listed on the approved job mix formula, the average bulk specific gravity of the gyratory compacted specimens and the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mixture determined for the sublot of material. The aggregate content used for the calculation shall be that determined from field asphalt content testing for that sublot.

403.23.7 3 Removal of Material. All lots of material with a PFT less than 50.0 shall be removed and replaced

with acceptable material by the contractor. Any sublot of material with a percent of theoretical maximum density of less than 90.0 percent or greater than 98.0 percent shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material by the contractor. For SMA mixtures, any sublot of material with a percent of theoretical maximum density of less than 92.0 percent shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material by the contractor. Any sublot of material with air voids in the compacted specimens less than 2.5 percent shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material by the contractor. No additional payment will be made for such removal and replacement. The replaced material will be tested at the frequencies listed in Sec 403.19. Pay for the material will be determined in accordance with the applicable portions of Sec 403.23 based on the replacement material.

403.23.7 4 Miscellaneous Applications.

403.23.7 4.1 Small Quantities. Small quantities are defined in Sec 403.19.3.2.1. Unless the contractor has

elected to use the normal evaluation in the Bituminous QC Plan for small quantities, the following shall apply for each separate mixture qualifying as a small quantity:

a.QLA and PWL shall not apply.
b.Mixtures shall be within the specified limits for VMA, Va, AC and density. In addition to any adjustments in pay due to profile, the contract unit price for the mixture represented by each set of cores will be adjusted based on actual field density above or below the specified density using the following schedule: Field Density (Percent of Laboratory Max. Theoretical Density)Pay Factor (Percent of Contract Unit Price) For all SP mixtures other than SMA: 92.0 to 97.0 inclusive 100 97.1 to 97.5 or91.5 to 91.9 inclusive 90 or91.0 to 91.4 inclusive 85 19497.6 to 98.0 or90.5 to 90.9 inclusive 80 or90.0 to 90.4 inclusive 75 Above 98.0 orBelow 90.0 Remove and Replace For SMA mixtures: >94.0 100 93.5 to 93.9 inclusive 90 93.0 to 93.4 inclusive 85 92.5 to 92.9 inclusive 80 92.0 to 92.4 inclusive 75 Below 92.0 Remove and Replace

403.23.7 4.2 Base Widening and Entrances. For base widening mixtures and entrance work, QLA and PWL

will not be required. Payment for these mixtures will be made at 100 percent of contract unit price for material that otherwise meets the specifications.

403.23.7 4.3 Single Lift on Unmilled Surface or Leveling Course Work. For resurfacing projects specifying a

single lift on an unmilled surface, surface mixture of 3,000 tons or more, or for leveling course work, the following shall apply to the traveled way mixture. All bituminous mixture QC/QA requirements shall apply, except the density pay factor designated in Sec 403.23.7.2 will not be directly included in the total pay factor. In lieu of that, one density sample shall be taken per sublot and the pay adjustment for density will be made using the table in Sec 403.23.7.4.1(b). 195SECTION 404 BITUMINOUS MIXING PLANTS 404.1 Description.

The concrete shall be deposited over the entire width of the subgrade in such a manner as to prevent segregation and to minimize handling. Mixers, including truck mixers and trucks used for transporting concrete, will be permitted to discharge concrete by chute or by dumping directly on the subgrade or prepared base provided the underlying material is not damaged or distorted. Honeycomb in the concrete base or pavement edge may be cause for rejection of the concrete. 502.4.7 Tie Bar Placement. Tie bars shall be supported in the proper position by chairs driven into the subgrade, or may be placed by approved mechanical methods prior to the consolidation of the concrete after the concrete has been struck off. Tie bars shall be free from dirt, oil, paint and grease. Tie bars required at longitudinal construction joints shall be positioned before concrete base or pavement consolidation. 502.4.8 Final Strike-off, Consolidation and Finishing. Machine finishing by extrusion methods or by vibrating and screeding processes shall be required for all concrete except as permitted in accordance with Sec 502.4.8.6. After the final course of the concrete has been placed, the concrete shall be struck-off and thoroughly vibrated until concrete of a uniform and satisfactory density is attained. The surface of the pavement shall be of uniform texture and to the proper grade and typical section. 502.4.8.1 Consolidation. Vibrating tubes shall extend into the concrete the distance necessary to provide adequate consolidation. Vibrators shall be operated only when the machine to which the vibrators are attached is moving. Care shall be taken that the vibrator does not penetrate the subgrade or dislodge or move the joints. Vibrators shall not come in contact with the reinforcement, load transfer devices, subgrade or side forms. 502.4.8.2 Added Finishing Water. Moisture in any form shall not be applied to the surface of the concrete except for emergency conditions. When emergency conditions exist and it becomes necessary to apply additional moisture to the surface of the concrete in order to complete the final finishing operation, water may 238only be applied in the form of a fine pressure spray. Under such conditions, placement of additional concrete on the subgrade shall be discontinued until the emergency conditions cease. 502.4.8.3 Surface Texture. After surface irregularities have been removed, the concrete surface shall be given a uniformly roughened finish. The surface texture shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E 965, except as modified herein, to ensure the texture is adequate for desired friction characteristics. The test locations will be the same locations as identified for strength and thickness determination. 502.4.8.3.1 Sample Container. Plastic sample containers for ASTM E 965 testing shall be of a rigid material that will crack or break if the container is deformed. Damaged or deformed containers shall not be used. 502.4.8.3.2 Required Texture Depth. The results of ASTM E 965 shall show a texture depth of any sublot, as defined in Sec 502.10.1, to have a minimum value of 1.00 mm. Any sublot showing a texture depth of less than 1.00 mm shall require diamond grinding of the pavement represented by this sublot to attain the necessary texture. All testing of the surface texture shall be completed no later than the day following pavement placement. 502.4.8.3.3 Minimum Diamond Grinding Length. Diamond grinding, except for bump correction, shall be across the entire width of the traveled way and shall be continuous for a minimum of 0.1 mile. 502.4.8.3.4 Wave Texture Testing. ASTM E 965 will be waived if the contractor elects to diamond grind or tine the concrete with a wire comb. The concrete may be tined either longitudinally or transversely. 502.4.8.3.4.1 Wire Comb. A wire comb shall be no less than 10 feet long with a single line of wires exposed to a length of approximately 4 inches. The wire shall be blue-tempered and polished spring steel with nominal dimensions of 0.028 inch thick and 0.100 to 0.125 inch wide. The wires shall be spaced to provide 1/2-inch clear space between wires and securely mounted in a rigid head. Except for concrete finished by hand methods, the wire comb shall be mechanically operated and capable of covering the full width of slab in a single pass, at a uniform speed and at a uniform depth. Final approval of the wire comb will be based on satisfactory performance during actual use 502.4.8.3.4.2 Texturing with Wire Comb. Successive passes of the comb shall be overlapped the minimum necessary to attain a continuously textured surface. The surface texture produced shall have an average texture depth of approximately 0.125 inch. Small or irregular areas, or areas not suitable for machine texturing when adjacent surrounding concrete is ready for texturing, may be textured with a hand operated device producing a textured surface equivalent to that required for machine combing. 502.4.8.4 Edging at Forms and Joints. After the final finish, but before the concrete initial set, the edges of the concrete along each form line, and on each side of transverse expansion joints and construction joints shall be worked with an edging tool having a radius of approximately 3/8 inch. A well-defined and continuous radius having a smooth, dense finish shall be produced. The surface of the concrete shall not be unduly disturbed by tilting of the tool during use. Tool marks on the pavement shall be eliminated by brooming or dragging the surface. In doing this, the rounding of the corner of the pavement shall not be disturbed. All concrete on top of the joint filler shall be completely removed. All joints shall be tested with a straightedge before the concrete has set, and corrections made if one side of the joint is higher than the other. 502.4.8.5 Hand Finishing.

Dowel supporting assemblies shall conform to one of the types shown on the plans. The concrete shall be placed to avoid displacement or disarrangement of the joint installations. 502.5.1 Expansion Joints. Expansion joints shall extend for the full cross-section of the concrete pavement. Filler placed prior to the placement of the concrete shall be installed with a removable cap or edging bar as a guide for edging the joint and protection of the filler during the concrete’s placing and finishing. Joints constructed after the placement of concrete shall be sawed full depth, and the exposed edges shall be ground to a chamfer of 3/8 inch. The filler shall rest snugly on the subgrade from form to form. The joints shall be sealed in accordance with Sec 502.5.4. Upon removal of the forms, any struts or fins of concrete extending across the joint shall be removed to the full width of the joint and the full thickness of the concrete base or pavement. 502.5.2 Construction Joints. Construction joints shall be made at the close of each day's work or when the work is stopped or interrupted for more than 30 minutes. Transverse construction joint shall be located 15 feet from the last contraction joint Construction joints shall be constructed perpendicular to the top surface and the centerline of the concrete base or pavement. Construction joints may be formed with a timber header or may be sawed full depth. The final joint shall conform to the cross-section of the pavement.

Unless otherwise provided, all transverse contraction joints and all Type L longitudinal joints shall be sawed in a single cutting operation with all joint cuts to the dimensions shown on the plans. For intersections and irregular pavement, joints shall be sawed at locations as approved by the engineer. Sawing of the joints shall begin as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit sawing without excessive raveling. All joints shall be established before uncontrolled shrinkage cracking takes place. The sawing of any joint shall be omitted if a crack occurs at or near the joint location prior to the time of sawing. Sawing shall be discontinued when a crack develops ahead of the saw. The engineer reserves the right to have the contractor install preformed type joints on multiple width construction when the use of sawed joints fails to prevent random cracking. Any pavement with random cracking not controlled by dowels or tie bars shall be either removed and replaced using dowels or tie bars as appropriate to the nearest controlled joint or repaired with some other method approved by the engineer at the contractor's expense. 502.5.3.1 Forming Longitudinal Joint.

The joint forming device shall consist of a pair of straight blades mounted under the paver. The first blade shall be placed under the front of the primary pan extending forward between the vibrators, if mechanically possible. The second blade shall be placed on the finishing pan in identical alignment to the first blade. Blade depth shall be equal to one-third of the slab thickness. 502.5.3.1.3 Depth Verification. The engineer shall have access behind the paver to randomly check joint formation by inserting a thin metal strip equal to one-third of the slab thickness into the formed joint. 502.5.3.1.4 Weak Plane Verification. The contractor shall take four 4-inch diameter cores in the longitudinal joint. Cores shall be taken and tested the following day after the first day of paving. Samples shall be taken from random locations determined by the engineer. The cores shall be centered within ± ½ inch around the joint forming trail. The first one-third of the slab thickness and the second one-third of the slab thickness of each core shall be sawed off from the top and tested in the vertical position for split tensile strength. The average strength ratio of the first and second cores shall be 1/3 or less. 240502.5.3.1.5 Testing Frequency. For each successive day after the first day of paving, two 4-inch diameter cores shall be taken in the longitudinal joint. Samples shall be taken from random locations determined by the engineer. Cores shall be taken and tested the following day after placement. Cores shall be tested to determine the indirect tensile strength ratios. If satisfactory results are consistently achieved, the engineer may reduce the number of cores taken. 502.5.3.1.6 Joint Continuity. The contractor shall ensure longitudinal joint continuity between consecutive day's paving. 502.5.3.1.7 Unacceptable Results. If the test results or the quality of the joint forming process are not satisfactory to the engineer, the contractor shall saw the longitudinal joint for the length affected. 502.5.4 Sealing Joints. All sawed contraction joints shall be unsealed, unless otherwise specified. Sawed or formed expansion joints shall be sealed with joint sealing material before the pavement is opened to any traffic, including construction traffic. Immediately prior to sealing, the joints shall be thoroughly cleaned and dried. The sealing material shall be heated to the pouring temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Any material which has been heated above the maximum safe heating temperature will be rejected. Any excess material shall be removed from the pavement surface. 502.5.5 Joint Filler at Railroad Crossings. Bituminous filler for use between railroad crossing approach slabs and the crossing shall be an approved commercial bituminous mixture in accordance with Sec 401. The mixture shall be tamped into a firm and compacted state. 502.6 Curing. Immediately after the finishing operations have been completed and as soon as marring of the concrete will not occur, the entire surface and exposed edges of the newly placed concrete shall be covered and cured in accordance with one of the following methods. The concrete shall not be left exposed for more than 30 minutes between stages of curing or during the curing period. 502.6.1 White Pigmented Membrane. After the free water has left the pavement surface, the entire surface shall be sealed by spraying with a uniform application of white pigmented membrane curing material. The contractor shall provide satisfactory equipment to ensure uniform mixture and coverage of curing material, without loss, on the pavement at the rate of not less than one gallon for each 200 square feet. If rain falls on the newly coated pavement before the film has dried sufficiently to resist damage, or if the film is damaged in any other way, the contractor shall apply additional curing material to the affected portions. All areas cut by finishing tools subsequent to the application of the curing material shall immediately be given new applications at the rate specified above. If hairline cracking develops before the membrane can be applied, the concrete shall be initially cured with wet burlap in accordance with Sec 502.6.2 before the membrane is placed. Membrane curing shall not be used on Portland cement concrete base. Emulsified asphalt may be used to cure the concrete base if the surface course is to be a bituminous type. 502.6.2 Burlap. The top surface of the concrete shall be temporarily covered with thoroughly damp burlap after the concrete has set sufficiently to prevent marring of the surface. Burlap shall be handled in such a manner that contact with earth or other deleterious substances is avoided. All burlap, except burlap previously used for curing concrete, shall be thoroughly washed. The burlap shall be kept thoroughly wet until removed for application of the final curing material. Neither the top nor the edge of the concrete shall be left unprotected for more than 30 minutes. When the burlap is removed, white pigmented membrane curing material shall be continued by one of the approved methods. 502.7 Removing Forms. Forms shall be removed carefully to avoid damage to the concrete base or pavement. Honeycombed areas not rejected shall be immediately repaired. If the forms are removed less than 72 hours after placing concrete, the sides of the concrete shall be cured by one of the methods specified above. Any trench excavated for the forms shall be entirely backfilled so water will not stand next to the concrete base or pavement. 502.8 Surface Smoothness. The pavement surface shall be thoroughly tested for smoothness by profiling or straightedging as indicated in Sec 610. 502.9 Opening to Traffic. The concrete base and pavement shall not be opened for low volume, light construction traffic until the concrete has attained a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi. The concrete base and pavement shall not be opened to all types of traffic until the concrete has attained a minimum 241compressive strength of 3,000 psi and all sawed joints that have opened more than ¼ inch are sealed. Compressive strength will be determined by tests conducted in accordance with MoDOT test methods. Pavement shall be cleaned prior to opening to traffic.

502.10 Material Acceptance. Acceptance will be based on the following criteria being met:

a.Test results indicating the concrete base or pavement meets the specification requirements
b.Contractor following the approved Quality Control Plan (QCP)
c.Favorable comparison between the contractor’s quality control tests and the engineer’s quality assurance tests. Favorable comparison will be obtained when the engineer’s QA tests results are within two standard deviations from the mean of the QC test results for each individual lot of material. For properties not evaluated on a lot by lot basis, favorable comparison will be obtained when both the QC and QA tests results meet the specification requirements. Compressive strength and slab thickness will be evaluated on a lot by lot basis.

502.10.1 Lot Definition. A lot shall be the surface area placed in a single day. Each lot shall be divided into no

less than four or more than six sublots of equal surface area. For high daily production rates exceeding 7,500 square yards per day, the contractor may choose to divide the day’s production into two equal lots consisting of no less than four or more than six sublots each. The contractor shall notify the engineer of the size of the sublot or of the decision to divide a day’s production into two equal lots prior to taking any core samples. When a day’s production involves less than 600 square yards, combine the following day’s or days’ production to reach 600 square yards and treat as a single lot, except while completing a particular mix design or project, in which case combine with the previous day’s production and treat as a single lot. If a project has less than 7,500 square yards of a particular mix type, the lot will be defined as the plan quantity shown in the contract documents.

502.10.2 Sampling. One QC sample shall be taken for each sublot and a minimum of one QA sample shall be

taken per lot. A sample shall be taken from the finished concrete consisting of a 4-inch diameter core for concrete bases or pavements less than 12 inches thick and a 6-inch diameter core for concrete bases or pavements 12 inches or greater. Sampling locations will be determined by the engineer using random sampling procedures in accordance with ASTM D 3665.

502.10.3 Coring. Cores shall be taken in accordance with AASHTO T 24. Cores shall not be taken until a

502.10.3 2 Pavement Thickness after Diamond Grinding. If the contractor elects to diamond grind to

improve smoothness or surface texture, in accordance with Sec 610.5.1.3 and 610.5.1.4, then pavement thickness determination will be made after all smoothness correction has been completed. Cores shall be 4 inch in diameter. Location of coring will be determined by the engineer using random sampling procedures in accordance with ASTM D 3665.

502.10.4 Quality Level Analysis. Compressive strength and thickness shall be evaluated for acceptance on a

lot-by-lot basis using a Quality Level Analysis (QLA). The QLA will consider the variability (standard deviation) of the material and the testing procedures, as well as the average (mean) value of the test results to calculate the percentage of material that is above the lower specification tolerance limit (LSL) for compressive strength and thickness.

502.10.4 1 Determine Quality Index. The Percent Within Limits (PWL) will be based on the mean, standard

deviation and quality index of each lot's test results as follows:

502.10.4 2 Determine Percent Within limits. The upper (PWLU) and lower (PWLL) will be determined from

Table I. Total percent within limits is: PWLt = (PWLU + PWLL) - 100. For thickness and compressive strength in this specification, PWLU shall be 100.

502.10.4 3 Utilizing Quality Control Test Results. The engineer will make the Quality Level Analysis (QLA)

within 24 hours after receipt of the contractor's test results, by determining the PWLt for each designated pay factor item. The contractor's test results will be used when applicable to determine the PWL, provided the contractor's QC tests and the engineer's QA tests compare favorably, and provided the engineer's inspection and monitoring activities indicate the contractor is following the approved QC Plan.

502.10.4 4 Material Rendered Unfit. The engineer may at any time reject and require the contractor to dispose

of any batch of concrete mixture which is rendered unfit for use due to contamination, segregation, improper slump or improper entrained air content. Such rejection may be based on only visual inspection. In the event of such rejection, the contractor may take a representative sample of the rejected material in the presence of the engineer, and if demonstrated in the laboratory in the presence of the engineer that such material was erroneously rejected, payment will be made for the material at the contract unit price.

502.10.4 5 Lower Specification Limits. The lower specification limit (LSL) for compressive strength and

thickness shall be:

a.Compressive Strength – 4,000 psi.
b.Thickness – Plan thickness minus 1/2 inch. 243502.10.5 Outliers. Individual compressive strength tests within a lot may be checked for an outlier in accordance with the determination of statistic T in ASTM E 178, at a significance level of 5 percent. Replacement cores shall be obtained at the location designated and in the presence of the engineer. The PWL shall be determined using the replacement values.

due to use of the dispute resolution procedures such as, but not limited to, those for delay, cessation of operations, costs to subcontractors, etc. The engineer may give consideration to adjustment of working days, if warranted.

502.11.7 Concrete Mix Design Adjustment.

502.11.7 1 Field Adjustment. When test results indicate the concrete produced does not meet the specification

requirements or is not performing satisfactory, the contractor may adjust the mix design in the field as noted herein. Field adjustments may consist of changing the constituents listed on the approved mix design by no more than 5.0 percent or changing the water cement ratio by no more than 0.02 from the approved mix design. 246The engineer shall be notified immediately when any change is made to the mix design. Additional fractions of material or new material will not be permitted as a field adjustment. The field adjusted mix shall meet the requirements specified in Sec 501.

502.11.7 2 Field Redesign. When the constituents listed on the approved mix design are adjusted by more than

5.0 percent or the water cement ratio is changed by more than 0.02, the contractor shall submit a new mix design meeting the requirements specified in Sec 501. The mix design shall be submitted immediately to the District for approval. The contractor will be allowed to continue production while the mix design is reviewed.

502.12 Quality Assurance. Corrective action shall be required in accordance with Sec 502.11.3 for any QA

tests outside the action limit. The engineer will at a minimum, independently test at the following frequency: Test Frequency Compressive Strength 1 per lot Thickness 1 per lot Surface Texture 1 per lot Slump 1 per day Entrained Air Content 1 per day Aggregate Gradation 1 per project Coarse Aggregate Deleterious1 per week Aggregate Absorption 1 per 10,000 cubic yards Thin or Elongated Pieces 1 per project

502.12.1 Retained Samples. The QA inspector will test at least ten percent of the retained portion of the QC

samples for aggregate gradation and deleterious content. The QA inspector will test at least twenty percent of the QC retained samples for absorption and thin or elongated pieces. Retained samples will be chosen at random. A comparison will be considered favorable when the QA results of a QC retained sample are within the applicable limits specified in Sec 403.18.3

505.10.4 1 Slump will be determined in accordance with AASHTO T 119. The sample for slump testing will be

taken at the point of placement in the structure.

505.10.4 2 Air content will be determined by the pressure method in accordance with AASHTO T 152.

505.10.4 3 When required, standard density, unit weight, will be determined in accordance with AASHTO T

121. Standard density will be determined for at least each two hours of concrete production or any time significant fluctuations occur within the range of air content or slump.

505.10.4 4 Compressive strength will be determined from at least two 6 by 12 inch cylinders or from at least

three 4 by 8 inch cylinders prepared in accordance with AASHTO T 23 and tested in accordance with AASHTO T 22. One set consisting of two cylinders will be made for 28-day compressive strength from each day's production. Cylinders made for determining when to permit traffic will be made at a frequency determined by the engineer, and will be cured in the near vicinity and in the same manner as the bridge deck.

505.10.4 5 Concrete taken as a sample for testing slump and air content shall be wasted and shall not be placed

in the deck. If air content or slump test results are not in accordance with specifications, any concrete represented by those tests and any concrete in the mixer chute shall be wasted, and the necessary adjustments shall be made in the mix design or proportioning devices.

505.10.4 6 When concrete density is specified, in-place density of plastic concrete will be determined in

accordance with MoDOT Test Method TM 36. In-place density will be determined at a minimum passing test rate of one per 100 square yards or three per continuous pour, whichever is greater. A nuclear gauge correction factor will be determined at least once for each day of concrete production. Work bridges spanning the plastic concrete shall be provided by the contractor to permit performing nuclear density tests.

505.10.5 Mixing.

505.10.5 1 Concrete shall be mixed in accordance with Sec 501.

505.10.6 Surface Preparation.

505.10.6 1 On new concrete decks, the surface shall be given a very rough texture while still plastic by use of a

wire comb or other approved texturing device which will produce a bondable surface acceptable to the engineer.

505.10.6 2 On existing concrete decks with existing wearing surfaces, the wearing surface shall be removed in

accordance with Sec 216. On existing concrete decks without existing wearing surfaces, the surface shall be scarified in accordance with Sec 216.

505.10.6 3 For non-hydro demolition projects, the textured or scarified deck shall be sand or shot blasted

followed by an air blast. The sand or shot blast shall remove all dirt, oil and other foreign material, as well as any unsound concrete or laitance from the surface and edges against which new concrete is to be placed. The compressor shall be equipped to prevent oil in the air supply. That portion of the curb and previously placed wearing surfaces against which new concrete is to be placed shall be sand or shot blasted. Any loose or foreign material detected on the concrete surface prior to placement of the wearing surface shall be removed by sand, shot or air blasting. Clean-up and disposal of blast material shall be in accordance with Sec 202.3.1.3. The concrete surface may require retexturing where penetration of foreign material is evident. No contamination of the retextured or scarified concrete surface will be permitted.

505.10.6 4 For hydro demolition projects, total surface hydro demolition shall be performed in accordance with

Sec 216 and the following additional surface preparation. 258505.10.6.4.1 All areas of the deck, where further removal of concrete was performed with pneumatic hammering after the hydro demolition, shall be thoroughly sand or shot blasted to remove any loose material and micro-cracking. Clean-up and disposal of blast material shall be in accordance with Sec 202.3.1.3.

505.10.6 4.2 After completion of sand or shot blasting and associated clean-up of debris, the entire deck surface

shall be thoroughly cleaned by a minimum 7000 psi pressure water blasting to remove all debris and slurry residue within 24 hours prior to wearing surface placement begins. Water blasting shall continue until the run- off water from cleaning flows clear.

505.10.6 4.3 After cleaning, the deck surface shall be thoroughly saturated to the point that the surface does not

dry out, and any excess water removed with compressed air. Clean polyethylene sheeting shall then be used to cover the deck completely until such time as the wearing surface is placed. Just prior to placement of the wearing surface, the deck shall be brought to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition and maintained in a SSD condition throughout the pour, with no ponding of water.

505.10.6 4.4 Any standing water on the deck or in the depressed areas of monolithic deck repair shall be

removed prior to placement of wearing surface material

505.10.6 5 To assure that the thickness of the concrete wearing surface above the prepared surface will be as

specified on the plans, the clearance shall be checked in the following manner before concrete is placed. A filler block having a thickness 1/8 inch less than the wearing surface thickness shall be attached to the bottom of the screed. With screed guides in place, the screed shall be passed over the area to be concreted. Where the intended clearance does not allow use of this method, a stringline or other means shall be used, subject to approval from the engineer. All existing concrete shall be removed that does not have sufficient clearance.

The screed stroke shall be synchronized to speeds not exceeding 50 strokes per minute, with infinite variable control from the console. The screeds shall be capable of vertical lift when the machine is reversed for travel, and controlled for downward direction to the finishing position to permit feathering of the screeds to any previously finished surface.

505.10.7 2.2 The bottom face of the screeds shall be at least 5 inches wide, with an effective pressure to produce

no less than 75 psf. The bottom face of the screeds shall have a turned up leading edge to prevent tearing of the screeded surface and shall be adjustable for tilt and crown. The screed lengths shall be such to produce positive strike off and density of the concrete for at least 6 inches beyond the line where the saw cut for the longitudinal joint is to be made and to within one inch of the curb reinforcing steel or face of any curb barrier already in place.

505.10.7 3 The machine shall be equipped with a mechanically-powered adjustable auger positioned in front of

the lead screed. The strike-off shall travel back and forth for the full width to be screeded and shall be properly designed to meter the concrete to the screeds. 259505.10.7.4 Heavy duty support rails shall be used to support the finishing machine. Support rails shall be adjustable and the rail shall not deflect more than 1/32 inch between adjustable supports. Support rails shall be placed outside the area and parallel to axis of the area to be concreted. Support rails shall extend a sufficient distance beyond the end of the deck to allow the finishing machine to be completely removed from the deck surface such that hand finishing may proceed without interruption. The support rails shall be set to produce the final profile grade of the surface of the wearing surface. A hold-down device shot into the concrete will not be permitted unless the concrete is to be subsequently resurfaced. The proposed method of anchoring the support rails shall be submitted to the engineer for approval.

505.10.8 Placing and Finishing Concrete.

505.10.8 1 A lateral support for the concrete such as 2 by 4-inch lumber attached to the deck will be required at

505.10.8 7 Prior to placement of low slump concrete, the cleaned surface shall be thoroughly wetted for a

minimum of three hours, then covered with polyethylene sheeting until the time of concrete placement. The surface shall be damp at the time the wearing surface is placed. Any standing water in depressions, holes or areas of concrete removal shall be blown out with compressed air. No free water or puddles of standing water shall exist at the time of placement.

505.10.8 8 The wheels of rubber wheeled vehicles or transport containers for the concrete shall not be permitted

to contact any portion of the existing concrete surface prior to placement of the concrete. Protection shall be provided for the concrete surface by means of plywood, mats or other suitable material placed on the surface. Any loose or foreign material or rubber marks accidentally deposited on the surface shall be removed by the contractor prior to low slump concrete placement.

505.10.8 9 Placement of the concrete shall be a continuous operation throughout the pour. Only the minimum

amount of concrete necessary for proper placement shall be placed in front of the screeds. If the concrete paver is stopped for any reason, all plastic concrete in front of the paver shall be covered with wet burlap. Concrete shall be placed and finished at a minimum of 2.5 cubic yards per hour for a 12-foot wide pour, except when the contractor elects to pour a wider section, the rate of pour shall be increased proportionately. When concrete is being mixed and placed at the specified minimum rate under normal operations, the finishing machine shall be designed such that the elapsed time between depositing the concrete on the deck and final screeding shall not exceed 10 minutes.

505.10.8 10 If concrete is added to the wearing surface behind the finishing machine, the area shall be

mechanically consolidated again by the finishing machine. 260505.10.8.11 After finishing, the contractor shall check the surface with a lightweight 10-foot straightedge. Causes for irregularities exceeding 1/8 inch shall be eliminated and corrections shall be made.

505.10.8 13 After texturing the concrete surface, but before applying the wet cure, all vertical joints with the

adjacent concrete shall be sealed by painting with thinned grout consisting of equal parts cement, sand and sufficient water for the mixture to be the consistency of paint.

505.10.8 14 After the joint painting is completed, the freshly placed lane and joint shall be promptly covered

with a single layer of clean, wet burlap. Care shall be exercised to ensure that the wet burlap is well drained and that the burlap is placed as soon as the surface will support the burlap without deformation.

505.10.8 15 The wet cure shall be applied within 30 minutes after the concrete has been placed on the deck,

except when the surface will be excessively marred by doing so, as determined by the engineer. If the concrete requires refinishing because of failure to meet density requirements, the time will be extended 15 minutes. Failure to apply wet cure within the required time will be cause for rejecting the work affected. Surface concrete in the rejected area shall be removed and replaced by the contractor at the contractor's expense.

505.10.8 16 The surface shall receive a wet cure of at least 72 hours.

505.10.8 17 After placement and cure of the low slump concrete, the finished deck will be tested to detect

unbonded areas.

505.10.8 18 As soon as curing has been completed, the riding surface will be thoroughly straightedged by the

engineer and all variations exceeding 1/8 inch in 10 feet will be plainly marked. Areas more than 1/8 inch high shall be removed by an approved device consisting of multiple cutting edges leaving a grooved surface finish comparable to that produced by the texturing device.

as specified herein.

505.30.8 1 The cleaned areas to receive the wearing surface shall be thoroughly and continuously wetted with

water at least three hours before placement of the wearing surface is started, then covered with polyethylene sheeting until the time of placement. Any accumulations of water shall be dispersed or removed prior to applying the wearing surface.

505.30.8 2 Hand vibrators shall be used in areas of monolithic deck repair in the deck below the bottom of the

planned deck wearing surface thickness where concrete is being placed around reinforcement, deeper areas within the pour, and along curb lines and construction joints. Deep areas shall be filled in advance during the wearing surface pour so the material stiffens enough that it will not roll back under the paving screed. 267505.30.8.3 Since silica fume concrete produces very little bleed water, the engineer may require one or both of the following procedures to maintain a surface film until the burlap is placed.

505.30.8 3.1 A commercially available evaporative retarder may be used judiciously with a misting device

during the finishing process until the wet burlap is applied only to prevent the surface of the concrete from drying out. The evaporative retarder shall not be used to increase surface workability.

505.30.8 3.2 Fogging may be done to increase humidity in the area of placement. Any fogging shall be done

with nozzles specifically designed for fogging, with a maximum rate of one gallon per minute per nozzle.

505.30.8 4 The surface shall receive a wet cure for at least 7 days. Time when the ambient temperature is below

45 F will not be counted as cure time. Cure shall be continued until 3,000 psi compressive strength has been attained.

505.30.8 5 The finished deck will be examined for cracking. If cracking is found, the engineer will determine

whether cracking is detrimental, whether remedial surface repairs are needed or whether the wearing surface in the cracked area should be removed and replaced. All remedial surface repairs, removal or replacement shall be done by the contractor at the contractor's expense.

505.30.8 6 After placement and cure of the silica fume concrete, the finished deck will be tested to detect

unbonded areas.

case until 3000 psi compressive strength is attained.

505.30.10 2 Silica fume concrete shall not be placed when the air temperature or deck temperature is below 45 F

or above 85 F. Concrete placement may begin when the air temperature and deck temperature are 45 F and rising. Concrete shall not be exposed to freezing temperatures until a strength of 3000 psi has been attained. Any concrete damaged by freezing shall be removed and replaced at the contractor's expense.

505.30.10 3 When the weather forecast predicts temperatures of 85 F or higher, the contractor shall schedule

placing and finishing silica fume concrete during hours in which the ambient temperature will be lower than 85

F.The mixed concrete shall not have a temperature higher than 85 F when placed.

505.30.10 4 Since silica fume concrete may not exhibit bleed water, the probability of plastic shrinkage cracking

is increased. At surface evaporation rates above 0.1 pound per square foot per hour, plastic shrinkage cracking is probable and the contractor shall take precautions such as erecting windbreaks, lowering the mix temperature or delaying operations until ambient temperatures are lower. Fogging the concrete surface will only be permitted as provided for in this specification. Surface evaporation rates may be predicted from mix temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity, using Figure 1 of the 1986 revised edition of ACI 308-81, Standard Practice for Curing Concrete.

Deep areas shall be filled in advance during the wearing surface pour so the material stiffens enough that it will not roll back under the paving screed.

505.40.8 3 Expansion joints and dams shall be formed in the concrete wearing surface. Formation of the joint by

sawing through the wearing surface will not be allowed.

505.40.8 4 Water shall not be added to the surface of the concrete during finishing. A commercially available

evaporation retardant may be used judiciously with a misting device during the finishing process until the wet burlap is applied only to prevent the surface of the concrete from drying out. The evaporation retardant shall not be used to increase surface workability.

505.40.8 5 Texturing shall occur immediately after finishing and before the plastic film forms on the surface.

Texturing shall be performed in a manner to prevent pulling the concrete away from an existing vertical face Care shall be taken not to texture too deep and not to tear the surface.

505.40.10 2 Since latex modified very early strength concrete may not exhibit bleed water, the probability of

plastic shrinkage cracking is increased. At surface evaporation rates above 0.1 pounds per square foot per hour plastic shrinkage cracking is probable and the contractor should take precautions such as erecting windbreaks, lowering the mix temperature or delaying operations until ambient temperatures are lower. Fogging the concrete surface will only be allowed, as provided for in this specification. Surface evaporation rates can be predicted from mix temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity using Figure 1 of ACI 308-81 (revised 1986) "Standard Practice for Curing Concrete".

505.40.10 3 A fogging system shall be in-place prior to concrete placement. The fogging system shall consist of

pressurized equipment that distributes water at minimum rate of 0.10 gallon per hour per square foot. The fogging system shall apply the fog uniformly over the entire surface of the bridge deck. The fogging system shall produce atomized water that has a droplet with a maximum diameter of 0.003 inch and which keeps the finished deck surface saturated without producing standing water. The contractor shall submit a letter certifying that their fogging system is in accordance with this specification.

505.40.10 4 The fogging system shall be started progressively along the length of the deck, during or

immediately after floating.

505.40.10 5 No latex modified very early strength concrete shall be placed at ambient or deck surface

temperatures below 45 F. Latex modified very early strength concrete shall be protected to maintain a minimum specified curing temperature of 45 F. The contractor shall provide a method, meeting the approval of the engineer, of monitoring the concrete that demonstrates that the concrete has been maintained above the minimum curing temperature and has been protected from freezing. Any concrete damaged by freezing or which is exposed to a temperature of less than 45 F during the first 8 hours after placement shall be removed and replaced at the contractor's expense. 272505.40.10.6 The temperature of the latex modified very early strength concrete at time of placement shall be between 45 F and 90 F. If either the aggregate or water is heated, the maximum temperature for each shall be 100 F at the time of addition to the mix. Any method of heating during the mixing of concrete may be used provided the heating apparatus will heat the mass uniformly and avoid hot spots which will burn the material. Cement or aggregate containing lumps or crusts of hardened material or frost shall not be used.

505.40.10 7 No vehicle traffic shall be permitted on the latex modified very early strength concrete surface until

the latex modified very early strength concrete has attained a minimum compressive strength of 3200 psi. Compressive strength will be determined by tests conducted in accordance with MoDOT test methods.

505.40.10 8 Concrete shall not be placed adjacent to a parallel surface course which is less than 24 hours old;

however, this restriction will not apply to a continuation of placement in a lane or strip beyond a joint in the same lane or strip.

505.40.10 9 Preparation of the area, except scarifying, may be started in a lane or strip adjacent to newly placed

surface the day following the surface placement. If this work is started before the end of the curing period, the work will be restricted such that any interference with the curing process is held to the minimum practical time only.

505.40.10 10 Longitudinal construction joints shall be placed between designated traffic lanes. The location of

the longitudinal joints shall be subject to the approval from the engineer.

505.40.10 11 Transverse joints in the wearing surface may be permitted if approval by the engineer. Transverse

joints shall be located a minimum of 10 feet from the centerline of bent.

505.40.10 12 A header shall be installed in case of delay in the placement operations exceeding one-half hour in

duration. During minor delays of one-half hour or less, the end of the placement shall be protected from drying with several layers of wet burlap.

505.40.10 13 Adequate precautions shall be taken to protect freshly placed concrete from rain. All placing

operations shall stop when rain begins. The engineer may order removal of any material damaged by rainfall and such material shall be replaced in accordance with this specification at the contractor's expense.

except as specified herein. 275505.50.8.1 Prior to placement of wearing surface, the cleaned surface shall be thoroughly wetted for a minimum of one hour, then covered with polyethylene sheeting until time of placement. All surfaces that will be covered with the wearing surface shall be damp at time of placement. Any standing water in depressions, holes or areas of concrete removal shall be blown out with compressed air or other type blowers sufficient for removal or removed with the use of vacuums. No free water or puddles of standing water shall exist at time of placement.

505.50.8 2 Hand vibrators shall be used in areas of monolithic deck repair in the deck below the bottom of the

planned deck wearing surface thickness where concrete is being placed around reinforcement, deeper areas within the pour, and along curb lines and construction joints. Deep areas shall be filled in advance during the wearing surface pour so the material stiffens enough that it will not roll back under the paving screed.

505.50.8 3 Expansion joints and dams shall be formed in the wearing surface. Formation of the joint by sawing

through the wearing surface will not be allowed.

505.50.8 4 Water shall not be added to the surface of the wearing surface during finishing. A commercially

available evaporation retardant may be used judiciously with a misting device during the finishing process until the wet burlap is applied only to prevent the surface of the concrete from drying out. The evaporation retardant shall not be used to increase the surface workability.

505.50.8 5 Texturing shall occur immediately after finishing and before the plastic film forms on the surface.

Texturing shall be performed in a manner to prevent pulling the concrete away from an existing vertical surface. Care shall be taken not to texture too deep and not to tear the surface.

505.50.8 6 Screed rails and headers shall be separated from the newly placed material by passing a pointing

trowel along their inside face. Metal expansion dams shall not be separated from the new wearing surface. The trowel cut shall be made for the entire depth and length of the rails or headers after the mixture has stiffened sufficiently and shall prevent the concrete from flowing back into the cut.

505.50.8 7 During placement of the wearing surface, all joints with adjacent concrete shall be sealed with a

mortar paste of equal parts cement and fine aggregate, using the CSA cement and water.

505.50.8 8 The wearing surface shall be wet cured from the time of placement a minimum of 3 hours and until a

compressive strength of 3200 psi is achieved.

505.50.8 9 Wet burlap shall be applied promptly after the wearing surface has been placed on the deck without

deforming the finish surface.

505.50.8 10 Within one hour of covering with burlap, a layer of white polyethylene sheeting shall be placed on

the wet burlap. The wearing surface material shall be wet at all times during curing process and may require additional wetting by contractor.

505.50.8 11 The thickness of the wearing surface shall not exceed 3 inches, unless otherwise approved by the

engineer.

505.50.8 12 The finished deck will be examined for cracking. If cracking is found, the engineer will determine

whether cracking is detrimental, whether remedial surface repairs are needed or whether the wearing surface in the cracked areas should be removed and replaced. All remedial surface repairs, removal or replacement shall be done by the contractor at the contractor’s expense.

505.50.8 13 After placement and curing of the wearing surface, the finished deck shall be tested to detect

unbonded areas.

505.50.8 14 No surface sealing shall be applied to the wearing surface.

505.50.9 Supplementary Wearing Surface Material. Supplementary wearing surface material shall be in

accordance with Sec 505.10.9.

505.50.10 Limitations of Operations.

505.50.10 2 Since CSA cement very early strength concrete will not exhibit bleed water, the probability of

plastic shrinkage surface cracking is increased. At surface evaporation rates above 0.1 pounds per square foot per hour plastic shrinkage is probable and the contractor shall take precautions such as erecting windbreaks, lowering the mix temperature, fogging or delaying operations until ambient temperatures and/or wind conditions are more favorable. Fogging the plastic concrete surface will only be allowed, as provided in this specification. Surface evaporation rates can be predicted from mix temperature, ambient temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity using Figure 1 of ACI 308-81 (revised 1986) “Standard Practice for Curing Concrete”.

505.50.10 3 A fogging system shall be in-place prior to concrete placement. The fogging system shall consist of

pressurized equipment that distributes water at a minimum rate of 0.10 gallons per hours per square foot. The fogging system shall apply the fog uniformly over the entire surface of the bridge deck. The fogging system shall produce atomized water that is a droplet with a maximum diameter of 0.003 inch and which keeps the finish deck surface saturated without producing standing water. The fogging system shall be started progressively along the length of the deck, during or immediately after floating. The contractor shall submit a letter certifying their fogging system is in accordance with this specification.

505.50.10 4 No wearing surface shall be placed at ambient or deck temperatures below 45 F. Concrete shall be

protected to maintain a minimum specified curing temperature of 45 F. The contractor shall provide a method, meeting the approval of the engineer, of monitoring the concrete that demonstrates the concrete has been maintained above the minimum curing temperature and has been protected from freezing. Any concrete damaged by freezing or which is exposed to a temperature of less than 45 F during the first 8 hours after placement shall be removed at the contractor’s expense.

505.50.10 5 The temperature of the concrete at time of placement shall be between 45 F and 90 F. If either the

aggregate or water is heated, the maximum temperature for each shall be 100 F at time of addition to the mix. Any method of heating during the mixing of concrete may be used provided the heating apparatus will heat the mass uniformly and avoid hot spots which will burn the material. Cement or aggregate containing lumps or crusts of hardened material or frost shall not be used.

505.50.10 6 No vehicle traffic shall be permitted on the wearing surface until the concrete has attained a

minimum compressive strength of 3200 psi. Compressive strength will be determined by tests conducted in accordance with MoDOT test methods.

505.50.10 7 Concrete shall not be placed adjacent to a parallel course which is less than 24 hours old; however,

this restriction will not apply to a continuation of placement in the lane or strip beyond a joint in the same lane or strip.

505.50.10 8 Preparation of an area, except scarifying, may be started in the lane or strip adjacent to newly

placed surface after 3 hours of wet curing. If this work is started before the end of the curing period, the work will be restricted such that any interference with the curing process is held to the minimum practical time only.

505.50.10 9 Longitudinal construction joints shall be placed between designated traffic lanes. The location of

the longitudinal joints shall be subject to the approval of the engineer.

505.50.10 10 Transverse joints in the wearing surface may be permitted if approved by the engineer. Transverse

joints shall be located a minimum of 10 feet from the centerline of bent.

505.50.10 11 A header shall be installed in case of delay in the placement operations exceeding one-half hour in

duration. During minor delays of one-half hour or less, the end of the placement shall be protected from drying with several layers of wet burlap.

505.50.10 12 Adequate precautions shall be taken to protect the placement from rain. All placing operations

shall stop when rain begins. The engineer may order removal of any material damaged by rainfall and such material shall be replaced in accordance with this specification at the contractor’s expense.

505.50.11 Removal. Removal shall be in accordance with Sec 505.10.11.

This specification covers the maturity method as a non-destructive means of determining in- place concrete strength for pavement or structural applications. The concept of the maturity method is based on the combined effects of concrete age and temperature, during hydration, on the rate of strength gain for a specific concrete mix. This method requires the establishment of a relationship between compressive strength and calculated maturity indices for a specific concrete mixture prior to placement of the mixture in the field. The contractor may use the maturity method in accordance with this specification to estimate the compressive strength of the in-place concrete. 507.2 Procedure. In-place concrete strength determined by the maturity method shall be in accordance with ASTM C 1074, except as noted herein. 507.2.1 Maturity Meter. The maturity meter shall have a secure means of collecting data that is unalterable. 507.2.2 Maturity Function Values. In lieu of determining values for datum temperature, To, or activation energy divided by the gas constant, Q, values of 14° F or 5,000 Kelvin may be used, respectively. 507.2.3 Standardization. The calibration of systems used for monitoring the maturity of concrete shall be verified every seven working days in accordance with AASHTO T 325, Sec 9.1 and ASTM C 1074, Sec 7.1. 507.2.4 Development of the Strength-Maturity Relationship. The contractor shall develop the strength- maturity relationship prior to placing any concrete on the project, and shall notify the engineer prior to development of the maturity curve. The development of the strength-maturity relationship shall be done in the field using project equipment and materials. 507.2.4.1 Preparing Test Specimens. When the strength-maturity relationship is developed, compressive strength specimens shall be fabricated, cured and tested at the plant site and fabricated from a minimum 3 cubic yard batch of concrete. Temperature of the fresh concrete shall be measured and recorded. All field specimens shall be fabricated and cured in accordance with AASHTO T 23, with the following exceptions.

The concrete mixture shall meet the specification requirements in order to determine the strength-maturity relationship. The concrete mixture shall be at or above the target air content established by the contractor. 507.2.4.2 Required Documentation. The contractor shall provide the engineer with the following information prior to placing any concrete on the project:

a.The project number, route, county, concrete job mix number and date of testing.
b.The air, slump and water content from the batch of concrete tested.
c.The amount and type of admixture(s) used in the concrete mix.
d.The strength of each test specimen, and the average strength of test specimens at each test age.
e.Maturity index for each instrumented test specimen, and the average maturity index for the instrumented specimens at each test age.
f.A graph of the average compressive strength versus the average value of the maturity index, as described in the strength-maturity relationship section of ASTM C 1074. 507.2.5 Compressive Strength Testing. At a minimum, compressive strength tests shall be performed on three specimens, and the average strength computed at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. Production may start after the seven- day compressive strengths have been determined with approval from the engineer. 507.2.6 Placement of Temperature Sensors. For pavement and pavement repairs, temperature sensors shall be embedded at approximately mid-depth and 18 inches from the edge of pavement. For other applications, 289temperature sensors shall be embedded in locations considered critical in terms of exposure conditions and structural requirements. Temperature sensors shall be placed at the following frequency: Structure Component Frequency Pavement 1 sensor per 3750 sq. yd., with a minimum of one in the last 50 feet of pavement Pavement Repairs1 sensor per 10 patches, with a minimum of one sensor in the last patch StructuralA minimum of one sensor at the end of the pour, with three others sensors available to be placed as directed by the engineer 507.3 Proportioning, Mixing, Placing and Curing Field Placed Concrete. The maturity method does not account for variations in strength due to proportioning, mixing, placing and curing of concrete. Proper methods shall be followed at all times during proportioning, mixing, placing and curing the field placed concrete. 507.3.1 Field Placed Concrete Mix Requirements. Mix constituents of the field placed concrete shall not change, and mix proportions of the field placed concrete shall not vary more than 5.0 percent from the concrete mix used to develop the strength-maturity relationship. The water cement ratio shall not vary by more than 0.02. 507.3.2 Requiring Immediate Validation of Strength-Maturity Relationship. If the mix constituents a change more than 5.0 percent, the water cement ratio changes more than 0.02, the material sources change or the mixing operation changes, an immediate validation of the strength-maturity curve shall be done in accordance with Sec 507.4. 507.4 Validation of Strength-Maturity Relationship. At a minimum, every seventh day of concrete placement a validation test shall be conducted to verify that in-place concrete strength is accurately represented by the strength maturity relationship. The engineer shall be notified at least one business day in advance of when and where the validation test will be done. 507.4.1 Documentation for Validation. The contractor shall document the air, slump, and water content from the batch of concrete tested and any deviations from the original job mix. 507.4.2 Specimens for Validation. During placement of the field placed concrete, a minimum of four compressive strength cylinders shall be fabricated and cured as specified in Sec 507.2.4.1. 507.4.3 Sensor Location for Validation. A temperature sensor shall be embedded to within 1/2 inch of the center of one cylinder for computing the maturity index from the measured temperature history as specified in Sec 507.2. 507.4.4 Test Specimens for Validation. Once the maturity index, according to the temperature monitored cylinder, is achieved which corresponds to the maturity index desired for the first critical action such as opening pavement to traffic or removing formwork, three cylinders shall be tested for compressive strength. 507.4.5 Strength-Maturity Relationship Validated. The average compressive strength of the three cylinders shall be compared to the compressive strength as determined by the strength-maturity relationship. If the predicted strength is within 10 percent or 200 psi, whichever is less, of the actual compressive strength, then the strength-maturity relationship will be considered validated. 507.4.6 Strength-Maturity Relationship Acceptable. If the actual compressive strength is more than 10 percent or 200 psi above the compressive strength as determined by the strength-maturity relationship, then a new strength-maturity relationship may be developed. 507.4.7 Strength-Maturity Relationship Not Validated. If the actual compressive strength is more than 10 percent or 200 psi, whichever is less, below the compressive strength as determined by the strength-maturity relationship, the contractor shall make cylinders to determine compressive strengths until a new strength- maturity relationship has been developed. 507.5 Field Documentation. The contractor shall provide the engineer with the following information prior to taking any field action based on the strength-maturity strengths:

This work shall consist of constructing cast-in-place reinforced concrete drilled shafts and rock sockets, as required, to serve as a structural foundation. This work shall provide reinforced concrete shafts cast in cylindrically excavated holes extending sufficiently into soil or sound rock to adequately support the structure and all externally applied loads for which the shaft was designed. The drilled shaft foundation, including the rock socket, where required, shall be constructed in accordance with these specifications, as shown on the plans and in accordance with other specifications included in the contract documents. When directed by the engineer, corrections made by the contractor will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.2 Preconstruction Submittals. At least 30 days prior to drilled shaft construction, the contractor shall submit to the engineer for review an installation plan for the construction of drilled shafts. The installation plan shall be of sufficient detail to outline the contractor’s intended overall construction sequence and methods of excavation for the drilled shafts, including use of slurry, placement of reinforcing steel, details of concrete delivery to the site, an emergency construction joint method, placement of concrete in a continuous pour, including operational procedures for tremie or pump, and methods to prevent and handle delays in concrete batching and delivery to the site. The installation plan shall include details of casings to be used, if applicable, including calculations showing the ability of the casing to withstand anticipated hydraulic and earth pressures, and to withstand stresses due to installation without undue deformation. These details shall include methods for casing handling, splicing, straightening and out-of-round correction. Calculations included in the installation plan shall be signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of Missouri. 701.3 Material. All material shall be in accordance with this specification, Division 1000, Material Details, and specifically as follows: Item Section Reinforcing Steel for Concrete1036 Concrete Admixtures 1054 Concrete Curing Material 1055 Mortars and Grout 1066 Water 1070 701.3.1 Concrete. Drilled shafts shall be constructed of Class B-2 concrete, and all material, proportioning, mixing and transporting of concrete shall be in accordance with Sec 501, except as specified herein. An air entrainment admixture shall be used. A high range water-reducing admixture may be used to increase the slump to a maximum of 9 inches ± 1 inch. If used, the water-reducing admixture shall be added only after the concrete has reached the job site to reduce the potential for flash setting. The concrete mix for drilled shafts shall be dense, homogeneous, fluid and resistant to segregation, and shall consolidate under self-weight. The concrete mix shall have a set time that ensures that fluidity is maintained throughout the shaft concrete placement and removal of temporary casing, if used. A concrete retarder in accordance with AASHTO M 194, Type B, may be incorporated into the mix to retard set approximately two hours. Concrete for drilled shafts shall have a 28-day minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi. Portland cement shall be Type I or Type II. The maximum water to cement ratio of a concrete mix to be placed under water shall be 0.45. 701.3.2 Casing. Welded or seamless steel permanent casings shall be in accordance with ASTM A 252, Grade 2, unless otherwise specified. The contractor shall furnish two copies of certification from the fabricator detailing the designated specification with which the furnished casings comply. 701.3.2.1 Shop Drawings. Shop drawings for permanent steel casings shall be prepared in accordance with Sec 1080 and shall be submitted to the engineer prior to installation of the casings. 701.3.2.2 Condition of Casings. Casings shall be smooth, clean and watertight. For out-of-round tolerance of steel casings before and after installation, the departure of any point on the periphery of the casing from a true circle shall not exceed one inch, measured radially. 394701.3.2.3 Extent of Casing Length. Permanent casings, if required, shall be continuous wherever possible or practical. The permanent casing shall terminate at the specified elevation, and the concrete shall be trimmed to within tolerances specified in Sec 701.4.16 prior to acceptance of the completed drilled shaft. Permanent casings shall be extended into rock, as needed, to provide a positive seal and to stabilize the shaft excavation against collapse, excessive deformation, or flow of water. Casings meeting all specified requirements shall be installed from the work platform to the elevations shown on the plans. Where drilled shafts are located in open water areas, casings shall be extended from at least 18 inches above the water elevation and unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, to the specified bottom of casing elevation to protect the shaft concrete from water action during placement and curing of concrete. 701.3.2.4 Use of Teeth or Cutting Edge. The casing may be fabricated with teeth or a cutting edge to facilitate insertion into the rock. 701.3.2.5 Splices. Splicing of permanent casings is not desirable and will only be permitted when approved by the engineer. If splices are required, the welding process shall be in accordance with the requirements specified herein. The contractor shall be fully responsible for the adequacy of welds during driving. 701.3.2.6 Welding. Shop welding of casings shall be performed by a fully-automated welding process to develop the full capacity of the shell. All welding shall be in accordance with Sec 1080, except that shop welding of casings will not require radiographic inspection. Inspection will be of a visual nature. If evidence indicating poor welding is found, the engineer may require radiographing. Field-welded splices of sections of the steel casings shall be made by shielded metal-arc welding procedures performed by a certified welder in accordance with Sec 712.6 field welding requirements using properly dried low-hydrogen E7018 electrodes that have been protected from the elements to maintain the dry condition. The welds shall be full penetration, watertight and of x-ray quality in accordance with Sec 1080. 701.3.3 Slurry. Drilling slurry will be defined as mineral slurry, polymer slurry, natural slurry formed during the drilling process, water or other fluids used to maintain stability of the drilled shaft excavation to aid in the drilling process or to maintain the quality of the rock socket. In addition, the terms mineral slurry and polymer slurry, as used herein, will be defined as the final mixed composite of all additives, including manufactured mineral or polymer slurry additives required to produce the acceptable drilling slurry. 701.3.3.1 Slurry Usage. Drilling slurry shall be used if detailed in the approved installation plan, if in accordance with the contract documents or if approved in writing by the engineer. Drilling slurry may be used at the contractor’s option if the slurry is not in accordance with the contract documents; however, any slurry shall be approved by the engineer prior to use. Drilling slurry, when used, will be noncompensable and effect on time of performance due to the use of the slurry will be nonexcusable. 701.3.3.2 General Properties. The material used to make the slurry shall not be detrimental to the concrete or surrounding ground strata. Mineral slurries shall have both a mineral grain size that remains in suspension and sufficient viscosity and gel characteristics to transport excavated material to a suitable screening system. Polymer slurries shall have sufficient viscosity and gel characteristics to transport excavated material to suitable screening systems or settling tanks. The percentage and specific gravity of the material used to make the slurry shall be sufficient to maintain the stability of the excavation and to allow proper concrete placement. If approved by the engineer, the contractor may use water and on-site soils as a drilling slurry. In that case, the range of acceptable values for density, viscosity and pH, as shown in the following table for bentonite slurry, shall be met, except that maximum density shall not exceed 70 pounds/cubic foot. When water is used as the drilling fluid to construct rock sockets in limestone, dolomite, sandstone or other formations that are not erodible, the requirements for slurry testing will not apply if the entire fluid column is replaced with fresh water after drilling. To do so, fresh water should be introduced at the top of the casing and existing water used during drilling should be pumped out of the excavation from near the base of the socket until the entire volume of fluid has been replaced. 701.3.3.3 Preparation. Prior to introduction into the shaft excavation, the manufactured mineral or polymer slurry admixture shall be pre-mixed thoroughly with clean, fresh water and for adequate time in accordance with the slurry admixture manufacturer’s recommendations allotted for hydration. Water used for mixing shall be in accordance with Sec 1070. Slurry tanks of adequate capacity will be required for slurry mixing, circulation, storage and treatment. No excavated slurry pits will be allowed in lieu of slurry tanks without written approval from the engineer. Adequate desanding equipment will be required as necessary to control slurry properties 395during the drilled shaft excavation in accordance with the values provided in the table below. Desanding will not be required for signposts or lighting mast foundations unless specified in the contract documents. 701.3.3.4 Control Tests. Control tests using a suitable apparatus shall be performed by the contractor on the slurry to determine density, viscosity, sand content and pH of freshly mixed slurry, recycled slurry and slurry in the excavation. Tests of slurry samples from within one foot of the bottom and at mid-height of the shaft shall be conducted in each shaft excavation during the excavation process to establish a consistent working pattern. A minimum of four sets of tests shall be conducted during the first eight hours of slurry use on the project. When the results show consistent behavior, the testing frequency may be decreased to one set every four hours of slurry use, or as otherwise approved by the engineer. Reports of all tests, signed by an authorized representative of the contractor, shall be furnished to the engineer on completion of each drilled shaft. An acceptance range of values for the physical properties will be as shown in the table below. 701.3.3.5 Sampling. When slurry samples are found to be unacceptable, the contractor shall bring the slurry in the shaft excavation to within specification requirements. Concrete shall not be poured until resampling and testing results produce acceptable values. Prior to placing shaft concrete, the contractor shall take slurry samples from within one foot of the bottom and at mid-height of the shaft. Any heavily contaminated slurry that has accumulated at the bottom of the shaft shall be removed. Disposal of all slurry shall be done in areas approved by the engineer. The contractor shall perform final shaft bottom cleaning after suspended solids have settled from the slurry mix.

All precautions shall be taken to prevent damage to existing structures and utilities. These measures shall include, but are not limited to, monitoring and controlling the vibrations from the driving of casing or drilling of the shaft, and selecting construction methods and procedures that shall prevent excessive caving of the shaft excavation. 396701.4.2 Technique Shafts. When required by the contract documents, the contractor shall demonstrate the adequacy of methods and equipment used during construction of the first drilled shaft, which shall be an out of position technique shaft, constructed with reinforcement as identified for production shafts on the plans. This technique shaft shall be drilled in the position as directed by the engineer and drilled to the maximum depth for any production shaft shown on the plans. If at any time the contractor is unable to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the engineer, the adequacy of methods or equipment and alterations required, an additional technique shaft(s) may be required. Technique shafts shall be cut off 3 feet below groundline, buried or otherwise disposed of as specified in the contract documents or as directed by the engineer. Once approval has been given to construct production shafts, no changes will be permitted in the methods of equipment used to construct the shaft without approval from the engineer. When a technique shaft is not required, construction of the first production shaft will be used to determine if the methods and equipment used by the contractor are acceptable. Failure at any time to demonstrate to the engineer the adequacy of methods or equipment will be cause for the engineer to require appropriate alterations in equipment or method by the contractor to eliminate unsatisfactory results. 701.4.3 Construction Sequence. Excavation to footing elevation shall be completed before shaft construction begins, unless otherwise authorized by the engineer. Any disturbance to the footing area caused by shaft installation shall be repaired by the contractor prior to pouring the footing. When drilled shafts are to be installed in conjunction with embankment placement, the contractor shall construct drilled shafts after placement of fills. Drilled shafts constructed prior to the completion of fills shall not be capped until the fills have been placed as near to final grade as possible, leaving only the necessary work room for construction of the caps. 701.4.4 General Equipment and Methods. The contractor shall perform excavations through whatever material is encountered to the dimensions and elevations shown on the plans. The contractor’s methods and equipment shall be suitable for the intended purpose and for whatever material is encountered. 701.4.4.1 General Equipment. The contractor shall provide equipment capable of constructing shafts to a depth equal to the deepest shaft tip elevation shown on the plans plus 15 feet, or as otherwise specified in the contract documents. When a rock socket is identified on the plans at a shaft location, the definition of “shaft tip elevation”, for the purposes of this subsection, shall be taken to refer to the bottom of the rock socket. 701.4.4.2 General Methods. Excavations required for shafts and rock sockets shall be completed in a continuous operation. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the stability of the shaft excavation and the surrounding soil. When obstructions, either expected or unexpected, are encountered, the contractor shall notify the engineer promptly. Either the dry method, wet method, temporary casing method, permanent casing method if specified, or combinations, as necessary, shall be used to produce sound, durable concrete drilled shafts free of defects. The permanent casing method shall be used only when required by the contract documents. Blasting excavation methods will not be permitted. When a rock socket is required, the engineer will be the sole judge as to what constitutes the top of sound rock. Sound rock will be considered as the point where the rock is sufficient quality to allow the permanent casing to be seated. The engineer may order in writing additional depths of rock socket below the top of sound rock as considered necessary to improve the foundation. If the top surface of the sound rock is found to be inclined across the width of the shaft, the contractor shall immediately notify the engineer. The contractor shall use an airlift, or other method approved by the engineer, to clean the bottom of the shaft excavation. 701.4.4.2.1 Dry Construction Method. The dry construction method shall be used only at sites where the groundwater table and site conditions, generally stiff to hard clays or rock above the water table, are suitable to permit construction of the shaft in a relatively dry excavation and where the sides and bottom of the shaft remain stable without any caving, sloughing or swelling and allow visual inspection prior to concrete placement. The dry method shall consist of drilling the shaft excavation, removing accumulated seepage water and loose material from the excavation and placing the shaft concrete in a relatively dry excavation. The dry construction method shall be used only when shaft excavations, as demonstrated in a technique shaft or first production shaft, have 12 inches per hour or less of seepage. 701.4.4.2.2 Wet Construction Method. The wet construction method shall be used at sites where a dry excavation cannot be maintained for placement of the shaft concrete. This method shall consist of drilling the shaft excavation below the water table, keeping the shaft filled with water, natural slurry formed during the drilling process, mineral slurry or polymer slurry to contain seepage and groundwater movement, and to maintain stability of the hole perimeter until excavation to the final depth and placement of the reinforcing cage 397and concrete has been completed. This procedure will require placing the shaft concrete with either a tremie or concrete pump beginning at the shaft bottom, and displacing the water or slurry as concrete is placed. Temporary partial depth casings near the ground surface shall be provided to aid shaft alignment and position and to prevent sloughing of the top of the shaft excavation. Where drilled shafts are located in open water areas, shafts shall be constructed by the wet method using casings extending from above the water elevation to the plan casing tip elevation to protect the shaft concrete from water action during placement and curing. The casing shall be installed in a manner that produces a positive seal at the bottom of the casing. 701.4.4.2.3 Temporary Casing Construction Method. The temporary casing construction method shall be used at all sites where the stability of the excavated hole or the effects of groundwater cannot be controlled by other means. In this method, the hole shall be advanced through caving material by the wet method in accordance with Sec 701.4.4.2.2. When a formation is reached that is nearly impervious, a casing shall be placed in the hole and sealed. Drilling may proceed by the dry method to the projected depth. The placement of concrete shall proceed by the dry or wet method, except that the casing shall be withdrawn after the concrete is placed. In the event seepage conditions prevent use of the dry method, excavation shall be completed by the wet method. Before and during casing withdrawal, a 5-foot minimum head of fresh concrete above the bottom of the casing shall be maintained at such a level that fluid trapped behind the casing is displaced upward out of the shaft excavation without mixing with or displacing the shaft concrete. Casing extraction shall be at a slow, uniform rate with the pull in line with the axis of the shaft. Temporary casings shall be removed while the concrete is still workable and the slump of the concrete is between 6 and 10 inches. Vibratory hammers shall not be used for casing installation or removal within 50 feet of other shafts that have been completed less than 24 hours earlier. The reinforcing cage shall not be damaged or displaced when withdrawing the temporary casing. 701.4.4.2.4 Permanent Casing Construction Method. The permanent casing construction method shall be used only when required by the contract documents or authorized by the engineer. The casing shall be continuous between top and bottom elevations shown on the plans. Vibratory hammers shall not be used for casing installation within 50 feet of shafts that have been completed less than 24 hours earlier. 701.4.5 Slurry. 701.4.5.1 Time Limitations. When bentonite slurry is used, the contractor shall adjust construction operations such that the maximum time that slurry is in contact with the bottom 5 feet of the shaft, the time from the end of drilling to the beginning of concrete placement, does not exceed four hours without agitation. If the four-hour limit is exceeded, the bottom 5 feet of the shaft shall be overreamed prior to performing other operations in the shaft. For rock sockets constructed in shale using polymer slurry, concrete placement shall begin within 72 hours of starting the rock socket excavation to avoid degradation of the shaft sidewall. Before concrete placement begins, foundation inspection, when required, cleaning operations and reinforcing steel placement shall be completed and approved by the engineer. These operations will be included in the 72-hour time limit. If concrete placement is not begun within the time limit, the contractor shall take corrective measures to the satisfaction of the engineer. 701.4.5.2 Level of Slurry. During construction, the level of slurry shall be maintained at a height sufficient to prevent caving of the excavation. If the engineer determines that the slurry construction method is failing to produce the desired final results, the contractor shall discontinue operations and propose an alternate method for approval from the engineer. Correction for a failed slurry construction method will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.4.5.3 Slurry Manufacturer’s Representative. When manufactured mineral or polymer slurry additives are to be incorporated into the drilling slurry mix, the contractor shall provide the technical assistance of a representative of the mineral or polymer slurry additive manufacturer at the site prior to introduction of the slurry into the first shaft where slurry use will be required, and during drilling and completion of a minimum of one shaft to adjust the slurry mix to the specific site conditions. 701.4.5.4 Drilling Fluids for Rock Socket Excavation. For rock sockets excavated in limestone, dolomite, sandstone or other formations that are not erodible and cannot be constructed in the dry, only water shall be used as the drilling fluid, except that when other slurry types are used in drilling through overburden, that slurry shall be removed and replaced with fresh clean water prior to rock socket excavation. For rock sockets excavated in geomaterial that may be eroded by drilling water, such as shales, a polymer slurry will be required prior to beginning rock socket drilling through completion of concreting the rock socket. 398701.4.6 Cleaning of Shaft or Casing Sidewalls. Cleaning of the shaft or casing sidewalls shall occur by a method approved by the engineer as necessary to remove the depth of softening or to remove excessive slurry cake buildup. 701.4.7 General Excavation Considerations. The plans will indicate the top of shaft elevations and the estimated bottom of shaft elevations between which the drilled shaft shall be constructed. Drilled shafts may be extended deeper when the engineer determines that the foundation material encountered while drilling the shaft excavation is unsuitable or is not the same as anticipated in the design of the drilled shaft. Drilled shafts may be shortened when the engineer determines the material encountered is better than that anticipated, or based on the results of load tests. 701.4.7.1 Time Restrictions. The integrity of the drilled shaft excavation shall be maintained by the placing of reinforcement and concrete in a timely manner following completion of the excavation. No two adjacent shafts shall be excavated at the same time, and shafts shall not be constructed within 24 hours of the completion of an adjacent shaft if the center-to-center spacing is less than 3 shaft diameters. 701.4.7.2 Disposal of Excavated Material. Excavated material removed from the shaft and any drilling fluids used shall be disposed of in accordance with the contract documents, as directed by the engineer, and in compliance with federal and state laws. 701.4.7.3 Worker Entry Into Shaft Excavation. The contractor shall not allow workers to enter the shaft excavation for any reason, unless both a suitable casing has been installed and adequate safety equipment and procedures have been provided to workers entering the excavation. 701.4.8 Unexpected Obstructions. When unexpected obstructions are encountered, the contractor shall notify the engineer immediately. Obstructions are defined as a impenetrable objects that a) cannot be removed or excavated with augers fitted with soil or rock teeth, drilling buckets and/or underreaming tools and b) cause a significant decrease in the rate of excavation advancement, relative to the rate of advancement for the rest of the shaft excavation with the particular strata that the obstruction is located in. The engineer will be the sole judge of the significance of any reduced rate of shaft advancement and shall be present to evaluate the occurrence of the obstructions. Subsurface obstructions at drilled shaft locations shall be removed by the contractor. Such obstructions may include man-made materials such as old concrete foundations and natural materials such as boulders. The contractor shall employ special procedures or tools which may include but are not limited to: chisels, boulder breakers, core barrels, air tools, hand excavation, temporary casings, and increasing the hole diameter. Blasting will not be permitted. In the event, unexpected obstructions are encountered, the contractor shall strictly follow the procedure provided for a differing site condition set forth in Sec 104. Any adjustment to the contract amount or time will only be those expressly permitted by the contract documents and only to the extent expressly provided in the contract documents. No contract adjustment will be determined, as to entitlement or amount on any basis other than under the contract as a differing site condition. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the contractor agrees that the contractor will not be entitled to any contract adjustment arising from encountering an unexpected obstruction on the basis that, with respect to the obstruction, the Commission made: (1) a positive representation; (2) of a material fact; (3) which was false or incorrect; (4) as to which positive representation of material fact the contractor lacked knowledge that the representation was false or incorrect;
5.upon which positive representation of material fact the contractor asserts that the contractor relied; and (6) was damaged as a direct result of the positive representation of material fact. 701.4.9 Lost Tools. Drilling tools lost in the excavation will not be considered obstructions and shall be promptly removed by the contractor. All work required to remove lost tools or to perform associated corrective work, including but not limited to repair of hole degradation due to removal operations, will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.4.10 Excavation Inspection. 701.4.10.1 Inspection Equipment. The contractor shall maintain at the job at all times, all equipment suitable for use in the shaft inspection. 701.4.10.2 Removal of Excess Sediment and Water. Final shaft depth shall be measured with approved methods after final cleaning by airlift, or other method approved by the engineer. Unless otherwise stated in the 399contract documents, a minimum of 50 percent of the base of each shaft shall have less than 1/2 inch of sediment at the time of concrete placement. The maximum depth of sediment or any debris at any place on the base of the shaft shall not exceed 1 1/2 inches. For dry excavations, the maximum depth of water shall not exceed 3 inches prior to concrete pour. Shaft cleanliness will be verified by the engineer for wet or dry shafts. 701.4.10.3 Video Camera Inspection. The primary means of inspecting a shaft excavation, steel casing and the rock socket shall be by video camera lowered into the shaft. The contractor shall furnish all equipment necessary to conduct the camera inspection. The contractor shall operate the camera and supporting equipment under the direction of the engineer in such a manner as to obtain optimum results from the equipment. The video camera and lighting equipment shall be capable of operating in dry or submerged conditions encountered during the inspection. The excavated shaft shall have the engineer’s approval prior to proceeding with construction. 701.4.10.3.1 Equipment. Methods and equipment for controlling the camera will be subject to approval from the engineer and achievement of a satisfactory video record. 701.4.10.3.2 Drawings. The contractor shall submit layout drawings to the engineer showing the relative position of all components of the video inspection system, including type and size of barge or other work area. The information submitted shall include a written description of the operating procedure in a step-by-step sequence and shall state the source of power. 701.4.10.3.3 Shaft Inspection. Inspection of a shaft by video camera shall be performed as directed by the engineer. The excavated shaft, including the rock socket when applicable, shall be thoroughly cleaned of all loose fragments, sediment and turbidity prior to inspection. The camera shall be operated such that optimum clarity of detail can be obtained and all surface areas of the shaft, including the rock socket and the rock socket’s base, can be observed. All scanning of the rock surfaces shall be recorded. After completion of the inspection of a rock socket, the engineer will direct whether or not drilling of the shaft shall be continued to a greater depth. Recordings shall be furnished to and shall become the property of the engineer upon completion of the work. 701.4.11 Foundation Inspection. NX size cores will be required for drilled shafts with rock sockets, where NX refers to the nominal diameter of rock core, and the NX core barrel has a 2 1/8-inch inside diameter. At least 15 days prior to drilled shaft construction the contractor shall drill one NX size core at the center of each rock socket to a depth of 10 feet or twice the diameter of the rock socket, whichever is greater, below the bottom of the rock socket. The contractor shall use the foundation inspection hole to determine the amount of casing needed and casing ordered prior to foundation inspections holes is at the contractor’s risk. The contractor may be directed to extend the rock socket to a lower elevation, resulting from the engineer’s evaluation of the foundation inspection cores. 701.4.11.1 Log of Excavated Material. The contractor shall maintain a log of excavated material for each foundation inspection hole, and a rough draft of the logs shall be delivered to the engineer within 24 hours of completion of the boring. A typed log prepared by a geologist or engineer along with recommendations for the tip of casing shall be delivered to the engineer within 5 days. The log shall include the following:
a.The amount of NX cored per run and the amount recovered. All core loss shall be noted and explained. Clay layers shall be noted and located on the log by depth.
b.The Rock Quality Designation (RQD) for the NX core. The bedding thickness and degree of weathering shall also be noted.
c.One unconfined compression test shall be run per 5 feet of NX core. The results of these tests shall be delivered to the engineer. The results of the unconfined compression tests shall be reported in units of kips per square foot (ksf). Any effect on time of performance resulting from delays in delivery of the above test results to the engineer will be nonexcusable.
d.Color photographs of the core. 701.4.11.2 Storage and Labeling of Rock Cores. Rock cores shall be stored in structurally sound core boxes and shall be protected from the elements. The core boxes shall be properly labeled to indicate location, depth, beginning elevation, contractor and date, and shall be delivered to the engineer. 400701.4.12 Reinforcing Steel Cage Fabrication and Placement. The reinforcing steel cage, consisting of the longitudinal bars, ties, spirals, cage stiffener bars, spacers, centering devices, and other necessary appurtenances, shall be completely assembled as a unit, and shall be placed immediately after the shaft excavation is inspected and accepted, and just prior to shaft concrete placement. Temporary internal cage stiffeners shall be removed as the cage is placed in the shaft such that interference with the placement of concrete does not occur. 701.4.12.1 Reinforcing Ties, Splices and Clearances. All reinforcing steel in the shaft shall be double-wire tied and supported such that the steel remains within the allowable tolerances specified herein during placement of concrete or casing removal. Splices shall be located as shown on the plans and in accordance with plan details. With approval from the engineer, mechanical bar splices meeting the requirements specified in the contract documents may be used. Mechanical bar splices in adjacent bars shall be staggered not less than 30 inches apart. Welding of reinforcing steel will not be permitted. The reinforcing steel cage shall have sufficient rigidity to prevent racking or permanent deformations during delivery or installation. Concrete Cover Shaft DiameterUncasedCasing RemainsCasing Withdrawn 2'-0" or less 3" 3" 4" 3'-0" 3" 3" 4" 4'-0" 4" 4" 4" 5'-0" or larger6" 6" 6" 701.4.12.2 Spacers. Rolling spacers for reinforcing steel shall be used to minimize disturbance of the shaft sidewalls and to facilitate removal of the casing during concrete placement. Concrete spacers or other approved non-corrosive spacing devices shall be used at sufficient intervals, near the bottom and along the shaft at intervals not exceeding 5 feet , to ensure concentric location of the cage within the shaft excavation. When the vertical steel is greater than one inch in diameter, the maximum spacing may be increased to 10 feet. As a minimum, a set of spacers shall be provided within 2 feet of both the top and bottom of the shaft. In addition, one set of spacers shall be provided at both 2 feet above and below each change in shaft diameter. Non-corrosive spacers shall be provided at a minimum of one spacer per 30 inches of circumference of cage with a minimum of three at each level to maintain the required reinforcement clearances. The spacers shall be of adequate dimension to maintain the specified clearance between the outside of the reinforcing cage and the side of the excavated hole or casing. 701.4.12.3 Bottom Supports. Approved non-corrosive bottom supports shall be provided for the reinforcing cage to ensure that the reinforcing is the correct distance above the bottom of shaft. The bottom supports shall not be used to support the weight of the cage. In the event that the shaft has been excavated below the anticipated tip elevation, the reinforcing cage shall be extended at the lower tip end by lap lengths for No. 11 bars or smaller or by use of mechanical connectors. Splices of adjacent bars will not need to be staggered in this situation and all of the reinforcing bars may be spliced at a given location. Reinforcement will not be required for the bottom 12 inches. 701.4.12.4 Durability of Spacers. Concrete spacers and bottom supports shall be constructed of concrete equal in quality and durability to the concrete specified for the shaft. Spacers fabricated from reinforcing steel shall be epoxy coated. 701.4.12.5 Protection of Reinforcing Cage. The reinforcing cage bottom supports shall be positioned such that the reinforcing steel is not allowed to come into contact with the soil or rock and to ensure that the bottom of the cage is maintained at the proper distance above the base as identified in the contract documents or directed by the engineer. 701.4.12.6 Check of Tolerances for Placement of Reinforcing Cage. The elevation of the top of the reinforcing cage shall be checked before and after the concrete is placed. The reinforcing cage shall be maintained within the specified tolerances, and the contractor shall make corrections to those tolerances, as required, to the satisfaction of the engineer. No additional shafts shall be constructed until the contractor has modified the reinforcing cage support to obtain the required tolerances. 701.4.13 Concrete Placement. 401701.4.13.1 General Considerations. Accumulations of water in casings and excess sediment at the base shall be removed as described herein before the concrete is placed. No concrete shall be placed until all casings, if used, within a 15-foot radius have been installed. Within the 15-foot radius, all driving or vibratory installation methods shall be discontinued until the concrete in the last shaft has set at least five days. Concrete placement shall begin as soon as possible after completion of the excavation, inspection and setting of the reinforcing cage, and shall proceed in a continuous operation from the bottom of the shaft to the plan construction joint or above as specified herein. An unplanned stoppage of work may require an emergency construction joint during the shaft construction. 701.4.13.1.1 Placement of Concrete in the Shaft. Concrete shall be placed for each shaft with the flow of concrete directed down the center of the shaft. Concrete shall be placed by free fall or through a tremie or concrete pump. The free fall placement method will only be permitted in dry holes when approved by the engineer. The maximum height of free fall placement shall be 80 feet. Concrete placed by free fall shall fall directly to the base without contacting either the reinforcing cage or hole sidewall. Drop chutes may be used to direct concrete to the base during free fall placement. 701.4.13.1.2 Extent of Concrete Placement. Concrete placement shall continue after the shaft is filled until good quality concrete, as determined by the engineer, is evident at the plan construction joint at the top of the shaft and until a minimum of 18 inches of concrete, measured vertically, has been expelled. Immediately after concrete placement has been completed, all contaminated concrete and deleterious material accumulated above the top of shaft shall be removed to within one foot of plan top of shaft. Any concrete remaining above the top of shaft shall be carefully removed to the plan construction joint after curing and excess casing removal. 701.4.13.1.3 Time Limitations. The elapsed time from the beginning of concrete placement in the shaft to the completion of the placement shall not exceed two hours. All admixtures shall be adjusted for the conditions encountered on the job so the concrete remains in a workable plastic state throughout the two-hour placement limit. Prior to concrete placement, the contractor shall provide test results of both a trial mix and a slump loss test conducted by an approved testing laboratory using approved methods to demonstrate that the concrete meets the two-hour requirement. The contractor may request a longer placement time if a concrete mix is provided that will maintain a slump of 6 inches or greater over the longer placement time in the entire shaft as demonstrated by trial mix and slump loss tests. The trial mix and slump loss tests shall be conducted using concrete and ambient temperatures approved for site conditions. 701.4.13.1.4 Adequacy of Concrete Placement Method. Failure to demonstrate the adequacy of concrete placement methods or equipment during construction of any technique or production shafts will be cause for the engineer to require appropriate alterations in equipment or methods by the contractor to eliminate unsatisfactory results. Drilled shafts that are completed, but do not meet the concrete placement requirements, will be unacceptable. The contractor shall correct all unacceptable completed shafts to the satisfaction of the engineer at the contractor’s expense. 701.4.13.2 Concrete Placement by Tremie. Tremies used to place concrete shall consist of a tube of sufficient length to discharge concrete at the shaft base elevation. The tremie shall have sufficient weight to rest on the shaft bottom before the start of concrete placement and to prevent curling of the tremie line during placement of the concrete. The tremie shall not contain aluminum parts that may come in contact with the concrete. A tremie shall consist of a watertight tube having an inside diameter of no less than 10 inches and fitted with a hopper at the top. The inside and outside surfaces of the tremie shall be clean and smooth to permit both flow of concrete and unimpeded withdrawal during concrete placement. The tremie wall thickness shall be adequate to prevent crimping or sharp bends that restrict concrete placement. Tremies used for depositing concrete in a dry drilled shaft excavation shall be supported such that the free fall of the concrete is less than 80 feet at all times. 701.4.13.2.1 Adjustment of Concrete Free Fall or Rate of Concrete Flow. If the free fall concrete causes the shaft excavation to cave or slough, the contractor shall control the movement of concrete by reducing the free fall of the concrete or the rate of flow of concrete into the excavation. The contractor shall be responsible for proposing, developing, and after approval from the engineer, implementing corrective work. 701.4.13.2.2 Tremie Operation. Underwater placement of concrete shall not begin until the tremie is at the shaft base elevation. The discharge end of the tremie shall be constructed to permit the free radial flow of concrete during placement operations. The tremie discharge end shall remain immersed as deep as practical in the concrete, but shall be no less than 5 feet at all times. The tremie shall be supported such as to permit free movement of the discharge end over the entire top surface of the work and to permit rapid lowering when 402necessary to retard or stop the flow of concrete. The discharge end shall be sealed closed at the start of work to prevent water from entering the tube before the tube is filled with concrete. After placement has started, the level of the concrete in the tremie shall be maintained above the level of slurry or water in the borehole at all times to prevent water or slurry intrusion into the shaft concrete. If water enters the tube after placement is started, the tremie shall be withdrawn, the discharge end resealed, and the placement restarted. The flow of concrete shall be continuous until the work is completed. 701.4.13.2.3 Removal of Tremie Orifice From Concrete. If at any time during the concrete pour, when using the wet construction method, the tremie line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete surface, the entire drilled shaft will be considered defective. In such a case, the contractor shall remove the reinforcing cage and concrete, complete any necessary sidewall cleaning or overreaming as directed by the engineer, and repour the shaft. Corrections made by the contractor will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.4.13.3 Concrete Placement by Pump. Concrete pumps and lines may be used for concrete placement by either the wet or dry construction method. All pump lines shall have a minimum diameter of 5 inches and shall be constructed with watertight joints. Concrete placement shall not begin until the pump line discharge orifice is at the shaft base elevation. For the wet construction method, a plug or similar device shall be used to separate the concrete from the fluid in the hole until pumping begins. The plug shall either be removed from the excavation or shall be of a material that does not cause a defect in the shaft if the plug is not removed. The discharge orifice shall remain at least 5 feet below the surface of the fluid concrete. If at any time during the concrete pour the pump line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete level, the shaft will be considered defective. In such a case, the contractor shall remove the reinforcing cage and concrete, complete any necessary sidewall cleaning or overreaming as directed by the engineer, and repour the shaft. Corrections made by the contractor will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.4.13.4 Drop Chutes. Drop chutes may be used to direct placement of free fall concrete down the center of the shaft excavations where the maximum depth of water does not exceed one inch. The free fall method of placement shall not be used in wet excavations. Drop chutes shall be a smooth tube constructed either as a continuous one-piece unit or as removable sections. Aluminum drop chutes will not be permitted. Concrete may be placed through either a hopper at the top of the tube or side openings as the drop chute is retrieved during concrete placement. The drop chute shall be supported such that the free fall of the concrete measured from the bottom of the chute is less than 80 feet at all times. 701.4.14 Construction Joints. Unless otherwise approved by the engineer, construction joints shall be made only where shown on the plans. All planned reinforcing steel shall extend uninterrupted through joints. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, horizontal joints may be constructed without keys. Surfaces of fresh concrete at horizontal construction joints shall be rough floated sufficiently to thoroughly consolidate the surface and to intentionally leave the surface in a roughened condition. Shear keys, if required, shall consist of formed depressions in the surface covering approximately one-third of the contact surface. 701.4.15 Concrete Protection and Curing. For at least 48 hours after shaft concrete has been placed, no construction operations that will cause soil movement adjacent to the shaft shall be conducted, except for movement of light construction equipment. Portions of drilled shafts exposed to a body of water shall be protected from the action of water by leaving the forms in place for at least seven days after concrete placement or until the shaft concrete reaches a minimum strength of 2,500 psi. After placement, the temporarily exposed surfaces of the shaft concrete shall be cured to prevent loss of water by use of one or more of the approved methods. Curing shall be in accordance with Sec 502. 701.4.16 Construction Tolerances. During excavation of the shaft, the contractor shall make frequent checks on the plumbness, alignment and dimensions of the shaft. Any deviation exceeding the allowable construction tolerances specified herein shall be corrected with a procedure approved by the engineer. Drilled shaft excavations constructed in such a manner that the concrete shaft cannot be completed within the required tolerances will not be accepted. Correction methods shall be submitted by the contractor for the engineer’s approval. Drilled shaft construction shall not begin until approval has been obtained. When a shaft excavation is completed with unacceptable tolerances, the contractor shall propose, develop and, after approval from the engineer, implement corrective work. Redesign drawings and computations submitted by the contractor shall be signed by a professional engineer registered to practice in the State of Missouri. The following construction tolerances will apply to drilled shafts unless stated otherwise in the contract documents: 403(a) Temporary casing diameters shall provide a final shaft diameter as shown on the plans. When approved by the engineer, the contractor may provide a larger casing at the contractor’s expense.
b.Shafts shall be constructed such that the center of the top of the shaft is within 3 inches of plan position in the horizontal plane at the plan elevation for the top of the shaft.
c.The vertical alignment of a vertical shaft excavation shall not vary from the plan alignment by more than 1/4 inch per foot of depth. The alignment of a battered shaft excavation shall not vary by more than 1/2 inch per foot of the distance along the axis of the shaft from the prescribed batter.
d.After all the shaft concrete is placed, the top of the reinforcing steel cage shall be no more than 6 inches above and no more than 3 inches below plan position.
e.The top elevation of the shaft shall be no more than one inch above or 3 inches below the plan top of shaft elevation.
f.The bottom of the shaft excavation shall be normal to the axis of the shaft within a tolerance of 3/8 inch per foot of shaft diameter. 701.4.17 Integrity Testing. The completed shaft shall be subjected to the specified testing methods, such as concrete coring or sonic logging testing, to determine the extent of any defects that may be present. Work and material required for testing shall be furnished by the contractor and will be paid for in accordance with the contract documents. If testing reveals voids or discontinuities in the concrete that, as determined by the engineer, indicate that the shaft is not structurally adequate, the shaft will be rejected. The contractor shall then repair, replace or supplement the defective shaft in a method approved by the engineer. The construction of additional drilled shafts shall be discontinued until the contractor demonstrates the adequacy of the shaft construction method to the satisfaction of the engineer. Any additional work required by the contractor as a result of shaft defects will be noncompensable and any effect on time of performance nonexcusable. 701.4.17.1 Concrete Coring. At locations where concrete coring is to be provided, as indicated in the contract documents or as directed by the engineer, the following will apply. Upon completion of placing concrete and after waiting a minimum of 48 hours, the top surface of concrete shall be cleaned of laitance and any unsound concrete, and then one core hole shall be drilled completely through the shaft concrete and the rock socket to approximately one foot below the bottom of the rock socket of each shaft. Provisions for the inspection of the concrete surface shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements described herein. Core holes shall be drilled at locations specified by the engineer. The holes shall be drilled to recover NX size cores. The core samples recovered shall be labeled as to the location from which the samples were taken. The samples shall be delivered to the engineer for examination. If the cores indicate defective concrete in the shaft, which in the judgment of the engineer impairs the strength of the completed shaft, the contractor shall drill additional cores as directed by the engineer. If the concrete is found to be defective, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a proposal for correction, and those corrective procedures shall be approved by the engineer before such corrective work is undertaken. The cored holes in non-defective concrete shall be filled with grout such that all voids are filled. All grout used for core holes shall be in accordance with Sec 1066. No direct payment will be made for grout and grouting. 701.4.17.2 Sonic Logging Testing. The contractor shall perform non-destructive integrity testing on completed drilled shafts and rock sockets using the crosshole sonic logging (CSL) method for concrete drilled shafts. The tests shall be conducted as indicated on the plans or other contract documents, or as directed by the engineer. Sonic logging measurements and data interpretation shall be performed by a CSL consultant with at least two years of experience in CSL drilled shaft testing. The contractor shall submit the testing organization experience record to the engineer, along with a written description of the testing procedures, operation manuals for the testing equipment, and samples of previous test results indicating both sound and defective concrete. The contractor shall inform the engineer of scheduled test dates at least seven days prior to CSL testing. The contractor shall provide reasonable access to the shaft top for performance of the sonic logging testing. 701.4.17.2.1 Installation of Pipes. The contractor shall furnish and install 2-inch nominal inside diameter steel pipes, ASTM A 53, Standard Weight, for use in sonic testing of each drilled shaft. Pipes shall be installed in each drilled shaft at the locations shown on the plans, as required by the testing agency or as directed by the engineer. The pipes shall be sufficiently regular and free from defects to permit the free and unobstructed 404passage of the probes. The pipe shall be installed such that all internal joints are flush. Stiffening devices such as mandrels, tape or similar material to seal the joints shall not be used. Pipe shall be watertight with clean internal and external faces, the latter to ensure a good bond between the concrete and the pipes. The pipes shall be fitted with a screw-on watertight shoe and cap and shall be securely fixed to the interior of the reinforcement cage with a minimum cover of 3 inches from the shaft periphery. The pipes shall be as near to parallel as possible, equally spaced and vertical. Where several sections of pipe are required to reach the full length, joints shall be made watertight. The pipes shall be filled with water and plugged or capped before shaft concrete is poured. The upper end of the pipe shall not be left open after the pour. The pipes shall extend at least 3 feet above the top of the concrete in the shaft to compensate for water displaced by insertion and removal of the transmitter, receiver, and cable. For shafts with a rock socket, the lower end of the pipes shall extend to the bottom of the rock socket. Care shall be taken during the drilled shaft concrete pour to not damage the pipes. If a tremie is used, the tremie shall not be permitted to rest on top of the pipes during the pour. After completion of the sonic logging and final acceptance of the drilled shaft, the contractor shall fill the access pipes with grout. 701.4.17.2.2 Sonic Logging Equipment. The sonic logging equipment furnished by the CSL consultant shall consist of all necessary supplies, support equipment and power to perform the sonic logging testing requirements as described herein. 701.4.17.2.3 Sonic Logging Test Procedure. The drilled shaft shall be tested between 2 and 40 days after concrete placement. The following procedures shall apply:
a.Pipes shall be checked to ensure the pipes are free from blockages and are filled with water any addition of water shall be noted and reported.
b.Levels shall be taken on top of each pipe, each pipe shall be plumbed and the length shall be recorded.
c.Testing shall be performed between each pair of adjacent pipes around the shaft perimeter and also in pairing combinations between each pipe with all other pipes in the shaft. If concrete coring is performed to confirm the nature of an anomaly identified during CSL testing, a subsequent CSL survey shall be performed using the concrete core hole(s) and the CSL access pipes.
d.All tests shall be carried out with the probes in the same horizontal plane unless the engineer directs that defects be further evaluated with the probes on different horizontal planes.
e.The probes shall be raised simultaneously from the bottom of the pipes ensuring that all slack is taken out of the cables before the analyzer is switched on, and that the distance between transducers remains constant during the course of the test. The speed of ascent shall be less than 12 inches per second. Measurements shall be taken at 3-inch intervals or less. Anomalies indicated by reduced velocity in the drilled shaft concrete and significantly lower energy shall be reported. If anomalies are detected, additional tests with two or more sources per receiver with vertical offsets of greater than or equal to 20 inches may be conducted at the request of the engineer between the same tubes unless the anomaly is within 20 inches of the bottom of the shaft.
f.The contractor shall provide accurate measurements of probe depths on the logs. 701.4.17.2.4 Record of Testing. Preliminary results of the testing shall be provided on site prior to the CSL consultant leaving the site. A detailed CSL report and test data shall be submitted to the engineer within seven days. The CSL report shall be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer. The CSL report shall include, but is not limited to, the following: project identification and dates of testing, a table and schematic showing shafts tested with accurate identification of tube coordinates and collar elevation, name of personnel that performed the tests and interpretation and those personnel’s affiliation, equipment used, data logs, interpretation, analysis, and results. The data logs shall include XY plots of velocity and energy versus depth. CSL data shall be processed to provide easy to understand 2D cross-sections between tubes for all tube pair combinations. These plots shall be annotated by the CSL consultant as appropriate to delineate anomalous results. If offset surveys are performed as part of 3D tomography, data plots shall include 3D volumetric images for the entire shaft, color-coded, to indicate velocity or energy variations along the shaft. Locations and geometry of anomalies or unconsolidated zones shall be identified in 3D color images with detailed discussion. The results for CSL and 3D surveys shall be based on the percentage decrease in velocity as correlated to the following Concrete Condition Rating 405Criteria (CCRC). The velocity of good concrete shall be established from a nearby zone of good concrete. Deviations from the velocity shall be used for determining the Concrete Condition Rating. Concrete Condition Rating Criteria Concrete Condition RatingRating SymbolVelocity ReductionIndicative Results Good G 0 to 10% Acceptable concrete Questionable Q 10% to 25%Minor concrete contamination or intrusion. Questionable quality concrete. Poor P/D > 25%Possible defects exist, possible water slurry contamination, soil intrusion, and or poor quality concrete. Water W V= 4760 to 5005 ft/secWater intrusion, or water filled gravel intrusion with few or no fines present. No Signal NS No signal receivedSoil intrusion or other severe defect absorbed the signal, tube debonding if near top. 701.4.17.2.5 Correction of Unacceptable Results. The contractor shall immediately inform the engineer of any suspected anomalies, honeycombing or poor concrete quality detected by testing. The contractor and CSL consultant shall duly perform further tests as directed by the engineer to evaluate the extent of any detected anomalies. Core drilling, or other investigative methods as approved by the engineer, shall be performed to further investigate the anomaly. If a defect is confirmed, the contractor shall bear all costs involved with the shaft coring, grouting and remediation. If no defect is found the length of the core will be eligible for payment. Within 14 days of the completion of testing, the contractor shall provide a report signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Missouri providing the results of the additional investigations and recommendations to accept or repair the shaft. The report shall also contain recommendations for modification of construction procedures to prevent defects for subsequent shaft installations. The dates of the completion of drilling, cleaning, steel placement and concrete pour shall also be provided. Construction above the top of shaft shall not be performed until the shaft has been accepted by the engineer. 701.5 Drilled Shaft Load Tests. All load tests, when required by the contract documents, shall be completed and submitted to the engineer for review and approval before construction of any production drilled shafts. The locations of load test shafts, the maximum loads to be applied, the test equipment to be furnished by the contractor, and the actual sequence of the load testing shall be as shown on the plans or as specified in the contract documents. After completion of testing, test shafts not used as production shafts shall be cut off at an elevation 3 feet below the finished ground line. The portion of shafts cut off shall be disposed of by the contractor, at the contractor’s expense, in a manner approved by the engineer. 701.6 Method of Measurement. 701.6.1 Drilled Shaft. Accepted drilled shafts will be measured for payment to the nearest 0.10 linear foot of length along the axis of each shaft complete-in-place. For shafts without a rock socket, measurement will be from the plan top of the shaft elevation to the bottom of the shaft. For shafts with a rock socket, measurement will be from the plan top of the shaft to the top of the rock socket. “Top of the rock socket” will be defined as the upper elevation at which rock occurs across the entire width of the shaft, as determined by the engineer. Reinforcing steel will be measured for payment in accordance with Sec 706. 701.6.2 Rock Socket. The accepted rock sockets, if required, will be measured for payment to the nearest 0.10 linear foot of length along the axis of each rock socket in-place from the top elevation of the rock, as determined by the engineer and in accordance with Sec 701.6.1, to the bottom of the rock socket as built. In the event that additional rock socket construction is directed by the engineer, the additional length will be measured to the nearest 0.10 linear foot. Reinforcing steel will be measured for payment in accordance with Sec 706. 406701.6.3 Technique Shafts. Accepted technique shafts, if required, will be measured for payment to the nearest 0.10 linear foot of length along the axis of each shaft in-place from the plan top of the shaft elevation to the bottom of the rock socket or shaft as built for each size of acceptable technique shaft drilled, including rock socket. Reinforcing steel will be measured for payment in accordance with Sec 706. 701.6.4 Video Camera Inspection. Video camera inspection, as required, will be measured for payment per each. 701.6.5 Foundation Inspection Holes. Measurement for payment for foundation inspection holes will be to the nearest 0.10 linear foot of length along the axis of each hole by the linear foot. Measurement will be from the top of the rock socket to the bottom of the foundation inspection hole.

The contractor shall be fully responsible for the lengths the contractor furnishes for driving to obtain the specified minimum nominal axial compressive resistance and penetration. The pile lengths shown on the plans shall be considered approximate lengths. 702.2.5 Probe Piles. Probe piles shall be of the same material and size as the permanent piles. Probe piles shall be of such length as to permit driving the tips to an elevation 10 feet below that indicated by plan lengths. Probe piles used as permanent piles in place shall conform to Sec 702.4.8. 702.2.6 Certification. For structural steel piles and shells for cast-in-place piles, the contractor shall furnish two copies of a certification from the pile manufacturer or fabricator setting out the designated specification with which the material furnished complies. 702.3 Equipment. 702.3.1 Driving Equipment. Piles shall be driven with power-driven hammers, or by a combination of power- driven hammer and water jets. Power-driven hammers will be defined as hammers operated by steam, air or diesel power. For determining the energy per blow of diesel power hammers without a fully enclosed ram, the 409manufacturer's energy rating for the hammer will apply and may be assumed equal to the ram weight times the stroke. If the contractor desires to check a diesel power hammer against an approved steam hammer on a specified type of pile at a particular site, the contractor may do so at the contractor’s expense, and the checked rating of the diesel powered hammer will be used in determination of pile nominal axial compressive resistances at that site. Diesel hammers that have a fully enclosed ram shall be equipped with a gauge and accompanying charts which evaluate the equivalent manufacturer's rated energy being produced under any driving condition. 702.3.2 Leads. Pile driver leads shall be constructed in such a manner as to afford freedom of movement of the hammer, and leads shall be held in position by guys or stiffener braces to ensure support to the pile during driving. Inclined leads shall be used for the driving of battered piles. 702.3.3 Followers. Followers may be used in driving piles only if approved in writing by the engineer. If a follower is used, one pile of every group of ten shall be driven without a follower to determine the available nominal axial compressive resistance of the group. 702.3.4 Water Jets. Water jets used to aid in driving piles shall be sufficient in number to deliver a volume and pressure of water at the jet nozzles that will freely erode the material adjacent to the pile. The use of water jets shall be discontinued before the final penetration is reached, and piles shall be driven to secure a final penetration of no less than 2 feet if the nature of the soil permits. 702.3.5 Hammer Energy.

Compressive strength will be determined by tests performed in accordance with approved methods. 702.4.10 FHWA-modified Gates Dynamic Pile Formula. The following formula shall be used to determine the nominal axial compressive resistance, P, of piles when other methods of determination are not specified in the contract documents: P = 1.75(E)0.5log10(10N) – 100 P = Nominal Axial Compressive Resistance measured during pile driving in kips E = Developed hammer energy in foot-pounds (Joules). This is the kinetic energy in the ram at impact for a given blow and may be assumed equal to the ram weight times the stroke. N = Number of hammer blows for 1.0 inch of pile permanent set in blows/inch. 702.4.10.1 The above formulas will be applicable only if:
a.The hammer has an unrestricted fall.
b.The pile head is not broomed, crushed or splintered.
c.There is no appreciable bounce of the hammer after striking the pile.
d.The penetration is at a uniform or uniformly decreasing rate. 702.4.10.2 For piles driven to a batter, the nominal axial compressive resistance, P, in the equations provided in Sec 702.4.10 shall be divided by the pile batter factor, B, in order to calculate the value of N, the number of hammer blows for 1.0 inch of pile permanent set.

Prior to driving structural steel piles, the contractor shall review the boring logs to determine the depth at which rock may be anticipated. The contractor shall be attentive to the physical conditions associated with pile refusal on hard rock. When indication of hard rock occurs, in no case shall the pile be driven more than 3 blows when the hammer is operating at maximum rated energy and the penetration per blow is equivalent to or less than 10 blows per 0.5 inch. Driving shall cease immediately to avoid damage to the pile and to reduce the risk of injury. 702.5 Method of Measurement. 702.5.1 Probe Piles.

Distortion of tubes after placing of concrete shall not increase the tubes’ vertical axis by more than 1/2 inch. 703.3.2.13 Falsework and form removal from under any structural concrete unit shall not be started until the concrete has attained at least the required compressive strength shown. The falsework support of all concrete spans of a continuous or monolithic series shall be first released from the center of all spans, and shall proceed simultaneously from all span centers each way toward adjacent bents. Release shall be in such a manner as to permit the concrete to gradually and uniformly take stresses due to the self weight of the concrete. Compressive strength will be determined by tests conducted in accordance with AASHTO T 22. Class of ConcreteCompressive Strength, psi, min. B 2750 B-1 3000 B-2 3000 703.3.2.14 Except in accordance with Sec 703.3.6, forms for vertical surfaces of bridge superstructures shall be removed as soon as the concrete is self-supporting to permit prompt patching of tie holes. 703.3.2.15 Girders and beams shall not be set on bent cap until the concrete in the bent cap has attained at least the required compressive strength shown in Sec 703.3.2.13. 703.3.3 Placing Concrete. Placing concrete in any unit of a structure shall not begin until preparations for placing and finishing are satisfactory to the engineer. The concrete temperature shall not exceed 90°F at the time of placement. Concrete shall be placed in the form in layers as near final position as practical with minimum handling. Each placement shall be completed in a continuous operation with no interruption in excess of 45 minutes between the placing of contiguous portions of concrete. Where a finishing machine is to be used, the machine shall be moved over the area to be finished immediately prior to placing concrete in any bridge deck pour to facilitate checking reinforcement cover and slab thickness. This checking shall be done in the presence of the engineer and with the screeds in the finishing position. Placing of concrete for bridge decks shall proceed uniformly for the full width of the placement. Once begun, placing of concrete in the superstructure of a continuous or monolithic series of spans shall proceed as rapidly as good construction practice will permit until all concrete in that series is placed. Vibrators having a minimum frequency of 4,500 impulses per minute shall be used to thoroughly consolidate the concrete in the forms and around the reinforcing steel. Sufficient vibrators shall be on hand to ensure continuous placement of the concrete without delay. The vibrators shall not be used for moving concrete nor shall vibrators penetrate or disturb previously placed layers of concrete after initial set. Vibration shall not cause segregation of the material. Reinforcing steel protruding through transverse or longitudinal headers shall not be disturbed until the concrete is at least 24 hours old. 703.3.3.1 Where placing operations involve dropping the concrete more than 5 feet, the concrete shall be deposited as approved by the engineer to avoid segregation and contamination. Where concrete is placed in the interior of pneumatic caissons, the concrete may be deposited through air locks or other approved devices, and the requirement of dropping the mixture no more than 5 feet may be waived. 703.3.3.2 Concrete shall be worked under and around the reinforcing steel without displacing the steel. Forms and reinforcing steel above concrete being placed, and placing equipment shall be kept clean and free from coatings of hardened concrete. Water used for flushing the equipment shall be discharged clear of the concrete and forms. 703.3.3.3 Concrete shall be placed around the tubes forming voids in slab spans using methods to prevent the displacement of the tubes. For tubes having an inside diameter greater than 14 inches, the concrete shall be placed in three layers. The first layer shall extend from the floor forms up to a plane 1/4- tube diameter above the bottom of the tubes and the second layer to 3/4-tube diameter. For tubes 14 inches or smaller, the concrete shall be placed in two layers, with the lower layer extending to the middle of the tube. Each layer shall be vibrated and allowed to settle after placing, before the next succeeding layer is placed. The succeeding layer shall be deposited while the concrete in the layer below is still plastic enough to permit intermixing the two layers by use of a vibrator. 703.3.3.4 The sequence of placement of concrete for roadway slabs on a continuous series of spans will be shown on the plans, along with the minimum rates of placement required for the basic sequence and for 416combinations thereof. The basic sequence of placement shall be observed unless it can be demonstrated that the contractor can place and satisfactorily finish combined placements at the required rate. If the contractor wishes to alter the placing sequence or to combine units, the contractor shall submit a written request subject to approval from the engineer. 703.3.3.5 Concrete for substructure units shall be placed in the dry unless otherwise approved by the engineer. If the supporting material at plan elevation of the bottom of a pile footing is not sufficiently stable to support the concrete, the material shall be stabilized, or the bottom of the footing shall be formed to adequately support the concrete. The stabilizing of material or forming under pile footings will be at the contractor’s expense. 703.3.3.6 Depositing concrete under water will be permitted if provided for in the contract documents or upon written approval from the engineer. The concrete shall be placed by tremie bottom dump bucket or mechanically applied pressure. The concrete shall be placed in the final position in still water and shall not be vibrated or disturbed after being deposited.

Riding surfaces shall be finished true to the alignment, grade, cross section and camber shown on the plans. These surfaces shall be finished by use of an approved mechanical finishing machine. On skewed structures the finishing machine shall be adjusted to finish the surface approximately parallel to the skew if the angle of skew exceeds 45 degrees, or if the angle of the skew exceeds 30 degrees and the placement width divided by the span length equals or exceeds 0.8. Vibratory screeds shall not be used, including those that are a part of the proposed finishing machine. 703.3.5.1 Machine finishing shall be with an approved self-propelled mechanical finishing machine. The engineer may waive the use of a finishing machine on isolated irregular shaped areas of the bridge surface. The finishing machine shall travel on adjustable rails or guides set to proper grade, and supported outside the limits of the finished riding surface. Where a longitudinal joint is shown on the plans, the finishing machine rails or guides shall be placed as close as practical to the longitudinal joint. The rails shall be supported to limit the full operating load deflection between supports to 1/8 inch or less. The rails shall be placed parallel with the centerline of roadway or the longitudinal axis of the area to be finished. Where supports are located such that fresh concrete must be placed around the supports, the rails or guides shall be furnished in sections of 10 feet or less and placed above the concrete surface. The sections and supports shall be removed and the holes filled with concrete immediately after the final straightedging. The finishing machine shall make sufficient passes to obtain the specified cross section and surface finish. The final pass of the machine shall be of the maximum practical length, and shall be coordinated with the rate of placement. Finishing machine loads will not be permitted on concrete that has not reached a compressive strength of 3200 psi. 703.3.5.2 Where hand finishing of riding surfaces is permitted, the surface shall be finished to the specified cross section and surface texture . 703.3.5.3 Sufficient work bridges shall be provided to complete the work in an orderly and continuous manner. Work bridges shall be supported outside the limits of concrete placement. 703.3.5.4 The riding surface shall be checked with a 10-foot straightedge immediately after the final finishing operation.

The roadway finishing shall otherwise be in accordance with Sec 502.4. Hand-operated devices producing a satisfactory texture will be permitted. At the contractor's option, a finned float with a single row of fins may be used. The grooves produced by the finned float shall be approximately 1/8 inch wide at 5/8 to 3/4-inch centers and shall be approximately 1/8 inch deep. This operation shall be performed at such a time and in such a manner that the desired texture will be achieved while minimizing displacement of the layer aggregate particles. 703.3.5.6 As soon as curing has been completed, the riding surface will be thoroughly straightedged by the engineer, and all variations exceeding 1/8 inch in 10 feet will be plainly marked. Areas more than 1/8 inch high shall be removed by an approved device consisting of multiple cutting edges leaving a grooved surface finish comparable to that produced by the broom. The use of a bush hammer or other impact device will not be permitted. 703.3.5.7 Unless an armored joint is shown on the plans, construction and expansion joints in the roadway surface shall be carefully edged and left free of all mortar and concrete. If shown on the plans, these joints shall 418be sealed with joint sealing material. Joints shall be dry and cleaned immediately before the joints are sealed.

Excess mortar forced out of the holes shall be removed. The location of anchor bolts in relation to the center of slotted holes provided in movable plates and shoes shall be varied to compensate for the movement of spans due temperatures above or below 60 F. Nuts on anchor bolts through moving parts of expansion bearings shall be adjusted to provide ample clearance for free movement of the span. 712.5.4 Grouting. Grouting under bearing plates and castings to build the bearing plates and castings to the proper grade will not be permitted. Steel shims the full size of the plate of the bearing device may be used for this purpose. Shims shall be placed between the bottom of the stringers and the top of bearing plates, if practical, and shall be straightened to a plane surface. 712.6 Field Welding. All field welding shall be performed in accordance with Sec 1080. 712.6.1 Welder Certification. All field welders shall be certified to weld on all steel products incorporated in MoDOT projects. Certification shall be by a test facility with an established accredited American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welder Program as defined in the current AWS Standard QC 4. Welders shall be certified per the current QC 7 Standard for AWS Certified Welders. The code of acceptance shall be AWS Bridge Welding Code D1.5 and qualifications range shall include the processes, positions, filler and base metal type as the work requires. Certification maintenance per applicable AWS Code of Acceptance shall be the responsibility of the certification holder. A copy of the current welder's certification from the AWS test facility shall be delivered to the engineer. The engineer may require recertification if there is specific reason to question the welder's ability. 712.6.2 Welding Procedures. All welding procedures using flux cored arc welding (FCAW) shall be submitted electronically to Bridge Division for acceptance prior to welding on any bridge. All welding procedures using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW or commonly known as stick welding) shall be submitted electronically to Bridge Division for acceptance prior to welding on major bridges (total length ≥ 1000 feet), bridges with structural steel with fy ≥ 70,000 psi (fs ≥ 38,000 psi), truss bridges, bridges with 2 girder systems and bridges containing fracture critical members (FCM). All other locations with SMAW, the contractor shall have field welding procedures on file prior to welding and available, at the engineer’s request. The engineer may verify the quality of a certified welder at any time. 712.6.3 Shear Connector. Shear connector production control shall be in accordance with 2002 AWS Bridge Welding Code D1.5 Clause 7.7 by MoDOT field personnel. In addition to this code, the engineer will sound 25 percent of the shear connectors to confirm an adequate weld to the girder/beam. A random five percent of all shear connectors will be bent to an approximately 30 degree from the original axes to verify the integrity and welding of the shear connector. The field engineer will sound 25 percent of the shear connector used on the expansion device whether shop or field installed. The contractor shall complete repairs and replace any failed shear connectors at the contractor’s expense. 712.6.4 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for Field Welds. Complete joint penetration (CJP) field groove welds shall be NDT by ultrasonic testing (UT) or radiographic testing (RT) with UT acceptance criteria based on 2002 AWS Table 6.3, Tension Stress and RT acceptance criteria based on 2002 AWS Table 6.8, Tension Welds. Fillet field welds and partial joint penetration (PJP) field groove welds shall be NDT by the magnetic particle testing (MT) as required by 2002 AWS D1.5, Bridge Welding Code, Clause 6.7.2. Costs of NDT and any repairs required will be considered completely covered by the pay item for the steel work being performed. 712.7 High-Strength Bolt Installation. 712.7.1 Bolted Parts. The slope of surfaces of bolted parts in contact with the bolt head and nut shall not exceed one in 20 with respect to a plane normal to the bolt axis. All bolted parts, including underhead bearing areas and 437joint surfaces within the grip of the bolt, shall fit solidly together when assembled in the snug tight condition, and shall not be separated by gaskets or any other interposed compressible material. When assembled, all joint surfaces, including those adjacent to the bolt heads, nuts or washers, shall be free of scale, dirt, burrs, other foreign material and other defects that would prevent solid seating of the parts. Contact surfaces within friction- type joints shall be free of oil and paint, except in accordance with Sec 1081.10.3.10, lacquer, rust inhibitor and galvanizing. All bolts, nuts and washers shall be free of rust, burrs, dirt, other foreign material and other defects that would prevent proper tensioning. All nuts for coated high-strength bolts shall be properly lubricated with a visible water-soluble lubricant. All nuts for uncoated high-strength bolts shall be properly lubricated with a water-soluble lubricant that is oily to the touch. 712.7.2 Snug Tightness of Connections. Regardless of the method of final tightening used to install the fasteners, the joint and all fasteners shall first be brought to the snug tight condition. Snug tight will be defined as the tightness where all faying surfaces of the joint are in firm contact as attained by a few impacts of an impact wrench or the full effort of a person using an ordinary spud wrench. Following the initial snug tightening of the fitting-up bolts, the remaining holes shall be filled with high strength bolts and tightened to a snug tight condition. All final bolts completing the connection shall be high strength and required nominal diameter. Snug tightening shall progress systematically from the most rigid part of the connection to the free edges. Bolts shall be retightened in a similar manner as necessary until all bolts are simultaneously snug tight, and the section is fully compacted with the bolted parts of the joint in full contact. For Type 3 and Type 1 bolts that will be field coated, if a connection is not completely tightened within five days of snug tightening, the contractor shall remove three bolts of a given connection and conduct rotational capacity testing in accordance with Sec 1080 to verify nut lubrication. For bolted field splices, the amount of bolts specified for bolt removal shall apply to each element of the splice (top flange, web and bottom flange). If the rotational capacity test is unacceptable, all bolts shall be removed, inspected, relubricated and may then be reinstalled. For galvanized bolts, the above condition shall be met as well as the threads of the bolts and nuts shall be inspected for galling prior to final tensioning. Any bolts or nuts with threads that are galled shall be removed and replaced. 712.7.3 Bolt Tension. Each fastener shall be tightened to provide, when all fasteners in the joint are tight, at least the minimum bolt tension shown below for the size and grade of fastener used. Threaded bolts shall be tightened by methods described in Secs 712.7.5, 712.7.6 or 712.7.7. If required because of bolt entering and wrench operation clearances, tightening may be done by turning the bolt while the nut is prevented from rotating. On non-parallel abutting surfaces where bevel washers will not be required, the nut shall be torqued against the non-sloping surface. Nuts shall be placed on the inside face of exterior girders, the top of girder flanges or in other situations the least exposed position, except if inaccessible for turning, on a sloping surface or otherwise approved by the engineer. Impact wrenches, if used, shall be of adequate capacity and sufficiently supplied with air to perform the required tightening of each bolt in approximately 10 seconds for bolts up to and including 1 ¼-inch diameter and within approximately 15 seconds for larger bolts. Bolts or nuts, once tensioned and subsequently loosened (turned), shall not be used as permanent bolts or nuts. Bolt tension calibration devices shall be calibrated and certified as to accuracy by a private testing lab within one year before usage, or at any time the tensioning process indicates that the calibration is in error. Bolt Tension English Bolt Size (in.)Minimum Bolt Tension (lb x 1000) ASTM F3125 Grade A325ASTM F3125 Grade A490 1/2 12 15 5/8 19 24 3/4 28 35 7/8 39 49 1 51 64 1 1/8 64 80 1 1/4 81 102 1 3/8 97 121 1 1/2 118 148 438712.7.4 Washers. All fasteners shall have a hardened washer under the nut or bolt head, whichever is turned in tightening. All fasteners over all oversized or slotted holes shall also have a hardened washer under the non- turned element. Where an outer face of the bolted parts has a slope of more than one in 20 with respect to a plane normal to the bolt axis, a smooth beveled washer shall be used to compensate for the lack of parallelism. 712.7.5 Calibrated Wrench Method. When calibrated wrenches are used to provide the bolt tension specified in Sec 712.7.3, the wrench setting shall be such as to induce a bolt tension 5 to 10 percent in excess of the specified value. Wrenches shall be calibrated at least once each working day by tightening in a device capable of indicating actual bolt tension no less than three typical bolts of each diameter from the bolts to be installed. Power wrenches shall be adjusted to stall or cut out at the selected tension. If manual torque wrenches are used, the torque indication corresponding to the selected tension shall be noted and used in the installation of all bolts of the tested lot. Nuts shall be in tightening motion when torque is measured. After the joint has been brought to a snug tight condition, all bolts in the joint shall be tightened by progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint to the free edges. When using calibrated wrenches to install several bolts in a single joint, the wrench shall be returned to "touch up" bolts previously tightened, which may have been loosened by the tightening of subsequent bolts, until all are tightened to the selected tension. During tightening, there shall be no rotation of the part not turned by the wrench. 712.7.6 Turn-of-Nut Method. When the turn-of-nut method is used to provide the bolt tension, there shall first be enough bolts brought to a snug tight condition as defined in Sec 712.7.2 to ensure that the parts of the joint are brought into full contact with each other. Following this initial operation, bolts shall be placed in any remaining holes in the connection and brought to snug tightness. All bolts in the joint shall then be tightened additionally by the applicable nut rotation specified below, with tightening progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint to the free edges. During this operation, there shall be no rotation of the part not turned by the wrench. Nuta Rotation from Snug Tight Condition Disposition of Outer Faces of Bolted Parts Bolt length measured from underside of head to extreme end of pointBolt faces normal to bolt axisOne face normal to bolt axis and other face sloped not more than 1:20 (bevel washer not used)Both faces sloped not more than 1:20 from normal to bolt axis (bevel washers not used) Up to and including 4 diameters1/3 turn 1/2 turn 2/3 turn Over 4 diameters but not exceeding 8 diameters1/2 turn 2/3 turn 5/6 turn Over 8 diameters but not exceeding 12 diameters2/3 turn 5/6 turn 1 turn aNut rotation shall be relative to bolts, regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For all required nut rotations, the tolerance will be minus 0 degrees and plus 60 degrees (1/6 turn). 712.7.7 Load Indicating Bolt Method. Tightening by this method will be permitted, provided it can be demonstrated by the following procedure that the bolt has been tightened, at a minimum, to 1.05 times the bolt tension indicated in Sec 712.7.3. Three bolts of a representative length and of the same grade, diameter and condition as those under inspection shall be placed individually in a calibration device capable of indicating bolt tension. There shall be a washer under the part turned in tightening each bolt. Each bolt specified shall be tightened in the calibration device until the spline drive has sheared off. When this method is used to provide the bolt tension, all bolts in the joint shall be tightened in stages to prevent or minimize slackening of the installed bolts. The first stage shall be to tighten all bolts to a snug tight condition at which point all of the faying surfaces of the joint shall be firmly in contact. The final stage of tightening to full tension shall be accomplished by progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint to the free edges. 712.7.8 Bolt Length. When snug tight, the beginning of the bolt threads shall be even with or project slightly beyond the nut. When properly tensioned, the bolt projections beyond the nut shall be as such to prevent the nut from engaging the thread runout. 439712.7.9 Bolt Tension Calibration Device. A Skidmore-Wilhelm Calibrator or an acceptable equivalent tension measuring device will be required at each job site during erection. Periodic testing, at least once each working day when the calibrated wrench method is used, shall be performed to assure compliance with the installation test procedures required for the tightening method used, and to perform pre-installation job site rotational- capacity testing. Bolts too short for the Skidmore-Wilhelm Calibrator short bolt setup shall have pre-installation job site rotational-capacity testing done according to ASTM F3125 Annex A2, Method 2 Short Bolt Test Procedure. Bolt tension calibration devices shall be calibrated and certified as to accuracy by a private testing laboratory within one year before usage or at any time the accuracy is questionable. 712.7.10 Rotational-Capacity Testing. The rotational-capacity test shall be performed on 3 bolts of each rotational-capacity lot prior to the start of bolt installation in accordance with Sec 1080.2.5.4. Hardened steel washers shall be part of the test, regardless if washers will not be required as part of the installation procedure. Bolt, nut, and washer when required, combinations as installed shall be only from the established and tested rotational-capacity lot. 712.7.11 Weathered Bolts. Weathered or rusted bolts or nuts not in accordance with Secs 712.7.1, 712.7.3 and 712.7.10 shall be cleaned and relubricated prior to installation. Recleaned or relubricated bolt, nut and washer assemblies shall be retested in accordance with Sec 712.7.10 prior to installation. 712.7.12 Inspection. The engineer will observe the installation and tightening of bolt assemblies to determine that the selected tightening procedure is properly used, and will determine that all bolt assemblies are tightened. The following verification inspection will be used:
a.Either the engineer, or the contractor in the presence of the engineer, will use an inspecting torque wrench and bolt tension calibration device furnished by the contractor.
b.Three bolt assemblies of a representative length, and of the same grade, diameter and condition as those under inspection will be placed individually in a calibration device capable of indicating bolt tension. There will be a washer under the part turned in tightening each bolt. Each bolt specified will be tightened in the device by the measuring torque wrench to the minimum tension specified in Sec 712.7.3. Of the three values obtained, the highest value will be taken as the job inspecting torque to be used in the manner specified in Sec 712.7.12. The inspecting torque will be re-established at intervals of no more than 30 calendar days or at any time appreciable changes are encountered.
c.Bolts represented by the sample prescribed in Sec 712.7.12 that have been tightened in the structure will be inspected by applying, in the tightening direction, the inspecting wrench and the wrench’s job inspecting torque to 10 percent of the bolts, but no less than two bolts, selected at random in each connection. If no nut or bolt head is turned by this application of the job inspecting torque, the connection will be accepted as properly tightened. If any nut or bolt head is turned by the application of the job inspecting torque, this torque shall be applied to all bolts in the connection. All bolts whose nut or head was turned by the job inspecting torque shall be tightened and re-inspected.
d.Calibrated wrench tightening will be verified during actual installation in the assembled steel work. The wrench adjustment selected by the calibration shall not produce a bolt or nut rotation from snug tight greater than permitted in Sec 712.7.6. 712.8 Field Coating. Field coating of structural steel shall be in accordance with Sec 1081. 712.9 Steel Bar Dams. Steel bar dams placed at expansion devices on existing bridges to serve as headers for surfacing material shall be installed in a manner that will not interfere with the movement of the expansion devices.

The manufacturer may elect to perform additional QC tests. For cutback material, QC testing shall be a minimum of the viscosity on a daily basis when material is being shipped to MoDOT work.
d.In the event of a failing sample, the manufacturer shall follow the steps outlined in AASHTO R 26, Sec. 9.2. If a sample fails to comply with any specification requirement at the Central Laboratory, the manufacturer may only ship new material of that grade after full specification compliance testing. After the manufacturer has certified through specification compliance testing that three consecutive batches are in accordance with the material specification, the manufacturer may return to the testing frequency outlined in the QC/QA plan. If a second sample of the same grade from the same facility fails to comply with any specification requirement within the same calendar year, approval of that facility to supply that grade under QC/QA may be withdrawn. If approval for a grade is withdrawn, that material may only be supplied to MoDOT work after full certification compliance testing has been performed at the Central Laboratory. Re-approval to supply under the supplier’s QC/QA Plan will occur only after three consecutive batches meet specifications after testing at the Central Laboratory. Failure of multiple grades from a single facility tested at the Central Laboratory may result in that facility being removed from approval to supply material to MoDOT. Reinstatement will occur only after all materials in question have been tested at the Central Laboratory and have met all specifications, and documentation from the supplier outlining the reason for the failures and what corrective measures have been taken are to the satisfaction of MoDOT.
e.The shipping facility shall document that each transport vessel was inspected prior to loading and was found to be acceptable for the material shipped. The inspection shall be documented by a statement on the bill of lading or truck ticket, or by maintaining a record of transport vessel inspections at the shipping facility, which shall be available for review by MoDOT.

The discharge ports shall be closed after all air has been forced out of the enclosure, as evidenced by the steady discharge of grout at the grout’s proper consistency, and a pump pressure of at least 50 psi maintained on the grout for a sufficient length of time to ensure completely filling all voids in the enclosure. Post-tensioned members shall not be removed from their supports for at least 24 hours after grouting. 1029.6.10 Strand Release. Strands shall not be released until the concrete has attained the required compressive strength shown on the approved shop drawings. The compressive strength shall be determined by tests of standard cylinders made of concrete from the same batches and cured in the same manner as the members. The 599strands or prestressing elements shall be cut or released in a sequence that produces the least eccentricity of the load. If steam curing is used, strand release shall be performed while the members are still warm. Forms, hold down devices, or other appurtenances that may restrict movement of the members shall be removed or loosened prior to strand release. The sequence of release for hold down devices and strands shall be indicated on the shop drawings. Release shall be in accordance with the approved shop drawings. 1029.6.11 Curing. Concrete members shall be kept continuously wet until the conclusion of the curing period. Curing shall be accomplished by covering with burlap or jute mats kept continuously wet by moist air, live steam or any combination of these methods. Other moist curing methods that will keep the member moist may be used provided the details of the proposed method are submitted to the engineer and approved. As soon as the concrete has set sufficiently that no marring of the surface or distortion will result, wet burlap or jute mats shall be applied, covering the exposed surface. Curing shall be continued until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. The concrete shall not be exposed to temperatures below freezing until the curing has been completed. 1029.6.11.1 Steam Curing. A preset period of no less than four hours shall be allowed before steam cure is applied. When the ambient temperature is below 50 F, steam shall be applied also during the preset period, but only at a rate sufficient to keep the air surrounding the member at a temperature between 50 and 70 F. After the preset period, steam shall be applied at a rate that will not increase the temperature of the air surrounding the members more than 40 F per hour. The maximum curing temperature shall not exceed 160 F, and the difference in temperature adjacent to the concrete at different locations within the enclosure shall not exceed 30 F at any time. Fluctuations of the temperature adjacent to the concrete during the curing period at any one location shall vary no more than 30 F. The contractor shall furnish and place, at the direction of the engineer, a minimum of two portable recording thermometers and no less than one for each 150 feet of enclosure, for use in determining the magnitude and degree of uniformity of temperatures within the enclosure. The temperature recording system shall be capable of automatically producing a temperature record during the entire curing period. The temperature record shall show the temperature at each location at intervals of no more than 15 minutes and have a range of approximately zero to 200 F. The temperature recording system shall be accurate within plus or minus 5 F. Steam shall be applied from pipes with perforations at suitable intervals laid along each side of the member, or by other approved arrangements. Jets of steam will not be permitted to impinge directly against the member, forms or test specimens. Provisions shall be made for effective circulation of the steam around all portions of the members. The concrete shall be kept continuously moist during the steam curing period. Steam curing shall continue until the required strength for transfer of load has developed. Steam or other curing methods shall continue until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. After the expiration of the steam curing period, the temperature inside the chamber shall be reduced at a rate of no more than 40 F per hour until a temperature has been reached approximately 40 F above the temperature of the air to which the concrete will be exposed. 1029.6.12 Form Removal. Forms shall not be stripped from prestressed concrete members sooner than 12 hours after casting. If strand release strength has then been attained, forms may be removed and members moved without unnecessary delay to a curing area. If forms are removed before the concrete has attained the strength which will permit the units to be moved or stressed, only the minimum area of the curing enclosure that is necessary to remove each individual form section shall be removed at any one time. The open area in the enclosure shall immediately be closed as each form section is removed. When the surrounding air temperature is below 30 F, no portion of the enclosure shall be removed before the unit has attained the required transfer strength. Forms of test specimens shall be stripped at the same time the forms are removed from the members. 1029.6.13 Handling. 1029.6.13.1 Storage.
